How can I decompile a setup.ins (installshield script) file and edit it and then recompile it?I'm trying to change an installer which was made 3 years ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are some proggies in the net to decompile installshield *.ins files (you may search in google for such keywords), but they do not work on all scripts (they may hang right in the middle or the program my crash) and the do not give to source you (or someone else) did write ...

The script has not the function names you want but some weird alpanumerical ones, the way the script was build is completely changed by using masses of goto's, a line like
nReturn = FunctionA();
is changed into something like
F12345();
n987 = LAST_RESULT;
So it is very complicated to restore the script if it wasn't very easy ...

good luck!
