Ascii2 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) I am using Universal Extractor 1.6 beta with the current innounp pnpacker.When attempting to extract some installers of Inno Setup type with Universal Extractor, the process halts and prompts:Type in a password (empty string to quit)How can Universal Extractor be made to finish the extraction?

mushu13 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The installers in question must be password protected to prevent extraction.The extraction can only be finished if you enter the correct password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascii2 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Is there a way of working around the password protection or a way of acquiring the password when the password is not known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Wouldn't that be illegal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascii2 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Wouldn't that be illegal??? I do not believe so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Those files are encrypted files. You have to use the password to actualy decrypt the file. I could use it for Nero Lite if I wanted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascii2 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 A similar thread from another forum is similar to this one:http://forums.winamp.com/printthread.php?threadid=293900If the installer can continue its installation without prompting the user for a password, it should use the password itself during runtime. If the password is used during runtime it should be able to be captured.I remember from a thread I read (although I do not remember where) that Inno Setup compares hashes, and the installer's hash or hash comparison can be modified to allow extraction to complete. I did not know how to actually accomplish such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascii2 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I found the thread that seems to have found a way around the pssword protection (although I am still uncertain if it applies to installers that do not prompt for password during normal install process). The thread may be found:http://forum.exetools.com/showthread.php?t=9137What should be done to get around the password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro322 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Ascii2, as the other forum members have noted, Inno Setup provides the ability to encrypt installers using the optional encryption module found here:http://www.innosetup.com/isdl.php#cryptIn order to decrypt the installer (necessary for extraction), the proper password must be specified. By default, as you've obviously noticed, innounp can't support encrypted installers.However, the post that you linked to looks like it may provide a way to work around it. I'd be interested in investigating it for the next version of UniExtract. I recommend adding your suggestion to the feature request thread to make sure I don't forget about it.

Ascii2 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have added the feature request to the MSFN Feature Request thread at http://www.msfn.org/board/Universal-Extrac...tu-t124535.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcdos Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) There is also another issue with UniExtract - it does not work with innounp 0.23.Simply refuses to recognize the packer ... Edited October 20, 2008 by tmcdos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voorhees Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) newest innouno 0.23 is working nice, you probably not put in same folder (bin in case of UniExt) new folder with language dll's (for english example: \bin\Lang\1033.dll) which come with innounp.exe Edited December 12, 2008 by voorhees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
