UniExtract error: Unpacking failed. This version is not supported

I needed to repackage an Inno Setup package. So I grabbed Universal Extractor (uniextract) latest version to extract the .exe file, but extraction gave the following error:

Extracting an Inno Setup package using Universal Extractor v1.61 failed
Extracting an Inno Setup package using Universal Extractor v1.61 failed

The log file uniextract.txt:

Signature detected: Inno Setup Setup Data (5.3.10) (u)
This is not directly supported, but i’ll try to unpack it as version 5309
; Version detected: 5310 (Unicode)
Critical error: The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.
Unpacking failed. This version is not supported.

It seams UniExtract version 1.61 cannot extract version 5.3.10 Inno Setup archives. With this in mind I tried extracting the archive using the command line tool innounp.exe, with great success:

extract Inno Setup package with innounp
extract Inno Setup package with innounp

The currect Innounp versions supports Inno Setup versions 2.0.8 through 5.4.2

Download Innounp from sourceforge.

    Can you explain a little more please?

  2. Love UniExtract

    Go to Uniextract official page: http://legroom.net/software/uniextract ;
    Scroll down the page, you should see ‘Credits’ section;
    Click on the links provided (the one you need to update);
    On the new page find ‘Download’ button/URL link… click and save to HDD;
    Unpack the file, copy (replace) all necessary file(s) to your …\Universal Extractor\bin\ folder was installed;
    Which file(s)? Just compare the filenames, usually same filenames only differ in version and file size.
