is there a way to unpack the NSIS setup package?
any way to implement that?

i wanna add some plugins and configurations into some freeware and repack it to meet my need.Since i do not know the setup process of them, i just want to do some minor modifications and repack it

any suggestion appreciated


was asked a couple of times before, the answer is no. maybe this should be added to the faq, if it hasn't been done yet :rolleyes:


The FAQ's "General" section has this as the second item:

You can use Install Exporter Plugin for Total Commander: When you press CTRL+PgDn - it can open Wise, Vise, Inno Setup, Gentee, Installer, InstallShield, NullSoft Installer (ver>=1.1o), SetupFactory, Eschalon and msi created by Windows Installer.
You can get it here http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/IETotal.html

Just one note: you can not see the script with this plugin - you can only unpack included files, you can see included NSIS plugins - but not script.


Many malicious software products (trojans, apps run via MSIE) now come as NSIS installers! Inno can be unpacked, cabinets can, InstallShield can, Wise. They cannot harm the pc. Most people can't see inside NSIS, however.

Unpacking support is not such a bad idea.
