About innoextract
Inno Setup is a common tool for building Windows installers. innoextract extracts the files from such installers without running the setup executable on Windows or through Wine. It supports installers made with Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.2.2, plus some modified variants such as My Inno Setup Extensions and GOG.com game installers.
It suits Linux and BSD users installing GOG games or other Windows software by hand, and anyone who wants to inspect an installer's contents safely. Builds are offered for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, and many distributions package it.
