Install Extractor (inc Installshield) – freeware

Found this very very useful tool called “Universal Extractor”

Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files from any type of archive, whether it’s a simple zip file, an installation program, or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package. This is still a work in progress (see details below), but so far it’s proven quite useful and I feel others can also benefit from it.

The original motivation behind this project was that I wanted an easy, convenient way to extract files from installation packages, such as Inno Setup or Windows Installer packages, without pulling up a command line every time.

I have not used it for long but have been extracting tons of installshield installs with no problems (thos data*.cab files etc).
