An unpacker for Clickteam Install Creator installers

cicdec

Extract files from installers made with Clickteam Install Creator.

Usage

cicdec [<options>...] <installer> [<output_directory>]

If no output directory is specified, all files are extracted to a subdirectory named after the input file.

Options
Switch Description
-v Extract as installer version . Auto-detection might not always work correctly, so it is possible to explicitly set the installer version. Possible values are 20, 24, 30, 35, 40
-db Dump blocks. Save additional installer data like registry changes, license files and the uninstaller. This is considered raw data and might not be readable or usable.
-dfb Dump file block. This is raw binary data containing all files in compressed form and only useful for debugging purposes.
-si Simulate extraction without writing files to disk. Useful for debugging.

Limitations

  • Installers, which contain multiple product versions, are not supported
    • This includes official Clickteam products, such as the Install Creator and Patch Maker installers themselves
  • Encrypted installers are not supported
  • Installer versions below 2.0.0.20 are untested and might not be supported. Please open an issue if you encounter an installer, which fails to extract
