About unshield
Unshield is a tool and library for extracting CAB files from InstallShield installers. CAB, or cabinet, files are archive containers used to package data, and installers can use them to hold application files. Unshield focuses on retrieving those contents from installer packages rather than running the installer itself. Its library form can also make the extraction capability available to other software. The product information does not specify supported installer versions, file selection, metadata handling, or programming interfaces. Those details should be checked for a particular package or integration. Its documented purpose is extraction of CAB files contained in InstallShield installers.
