Obtain a Source Code from .exe
Hi, everyone!

I need the source code from a .exe file, that was making with NSIS.

There are a tool to do that?

Thanks!

7-zip can extract the files that the installer contains, but the source is gone. The source has been compiled (into an array of 'tokens') and cannot be recovered. You might look for the source from the developer's website if it is open source.

there was a version of 7zip that decompiled a exe and would give you the "source", but the output was not something you could stick in a .nsi and compile and not useful for most people
