Does anyone know of a program to un-compile vendor installs for the reason of customizing the install for a corporate environment. I have been running into a problem with Apps with no support for silent install/uninstall in the setups. And if it is supported, it is not customizable. I know this is slowly fading out with MSI installs, but I still need to support Installshield 5 and 6, as well as Wise and so on...
Any Idea’s? I support a corporation of 3000+ and NT4.0/2000 mixed environment.

Is the install wrapped in PFTW or similar?
Were the installs done in InstallShield 5 or 6?
If so and the Cab files are not password protected, you can use the ISCAB.exe utility in the:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\InstallShield Professional 6.2\Program
folder.
Open Help_lib.chm for help on how to.

Other than that unless the "vendor" built their own API to access their stuff... I would not know how.
