You must download the source code as a zip file (the green button at the top of the page).

Inside the zip file you will find all versions of the installer (version 5.73 is included).:)

Hi Mina, InnoUnpacker 1.9.4 works on XP:

https://www.rathlev-home.de/tools/prog-e.html#unpack     [ Executable programs as zip archive (1.99 MB) ]

https://www.rathlev-home.de/tools/download/innounpacker.zip]

Thanks for the information, didn't know there's a version that works on XP. So, no need to use Windows 7 to extract an Inno Setup file.

A lot more time passes….

 

Please know that my 32-bit binaries for stunnel now support  windows XP. I also upgraded openssl to the latest LTS version (3.0.15 when this was posted).

 I found this thread due to the fact that traffic was being redirected from msfn.org to my github page… You should have opened on issue and it may have been faster 🙂

Welcome to the forum ! :)

In the system requirements of your releases, can you remove the need to have a CPU supporting the SSE2 instructions set ?

Above version 5.60, your releases requires the SSE2 instructions set. :huh:

@genieautravail,


Sure! I will prepare a special build not requiring SSE2 for older CPUs and let you know when it’s ready to test. I understand SSE2 can really help with the crypto performance, so most likely the main build will require SSE2.

Mind you, the most popular InnoSetup extracting tools (innounp.exe, innoextract.exe and GUIs containing them, like UniExtract2) don't (yet) support IS script versions 6.1+ :no:

There is a further Windows GUI tool called InnoExtractor which also contains innounp 1.72 and is worth to mention here. Of course, it is compatible with Windows XP (and most probably also with Windows Vista, at least it is listed to be compatible with Vista). Here is the homepage of InnoExtractor: http://www.havysoft.cl/innoextractor.html :)

unfortunately, InnoUnpacker v1.9.5 is not compatible with Windows XP

... From the linked homepage :

Quote

Notes to users of Windows XP: Windows setups created with Inno Setup 6.1 will no longer run under Windows XP. In this case, the user must download the program package as zip archive instead (if available) and then unpack it manually. The executable files will run without any problems.
...
For older Windows versions (XP and Vista), the installation must be carried out by unpacking the zip archive provided.

... thus innounpacker-setup.exe (of v1.9.5) won't run on XP ; hence the suggestion by its author, echoed by @we3fan here :P ; however, the German author has not yet updated the application to v1.9.5 (on purpose? :dubbio:), as the zipped distribution is still on v1.9.4 ; since the CLI tool is XP-compatible (thanks @AstroSkipper :thumbup ), one can use it (on XP) to unpack innounpacker-setup.exe and ascertain whether the main GUI executable, InnoUnpack.exe, of latest v1.9.5, can launch under XP SP3 x86 ;) ...

Thanks for that, too; a freeware in its basic functions, a donationware if you want "advanced" features :whistle:; of notable mention the ability of the (third-party-hosted) installer to perform a "portable" installation :thumbup ...

Thanks for that, yeah, InnoUnpack.exe v1.9.5 runs under XP SP3 normally.

Hi @genieautravail,

Please try the alternative build I recently uploaded https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32/blob/master/stunnel-win32-5.73-openssl-3.0.15-installer-nosse2.exe I understand the SSE2 instructions were added by my OpenSSL build; I added the option to explicitly disable that. Let us know if that works.

well if that is always the problem adding the algo why you not just write them to normal assembly commands ? that is possible 

making that hash/algo with normal commands dont cause more cpu intensity because they are only a small thing in the code

 

MMX and all its followers are rather for cpu intense parts (such as a decoder or encoder, or a sort mechanism) - but just to make a hash ? that raise questions 

 

its going back to a old story - where the makers once had 2 cpu´s 

1 with old but very compatible commands (that only got improved in speed)

1 with specific made for speed but no compatibility - almost nothing worked here - and if so they had to be entire rewritten only to do so - big cost

= both where taken - the CPU can do normal commands and MMX+ commands

 

now they already beginning to say something like hum now we have AVX we dont need SSE4 or SSE2 anymore 

to my opinion the answer is very clear - we can have both
