Anyone here who knows about InstallShield decompilation ?
I'm trying to decompile a version 3.00.101.0 setup.ins and it doesn't work with wisd or with isdcc. Wisd itself comes with an InstallShield script and just for fun I tried to use it to decompile its own setup.ins (3.00.111.0) and surprise, surprise it doesn't work !! How can that be ?
A version is does work with is 3.00.104.0, so I don't see any system here.
Btw., it's clear why it doesn't work. isdcc and probably also wisd look at the first 8 byte to determine if it's a legal InstallShield version and the setup.ins which don't work have unrecognized values.
Is there anybody who experienced similar problems ? I can't believe I'm the only one who wants to tackle InstallShield scripts.
