DataRescue - You know, believe it or not ;-), the freeware version of IDA is still more than adequate to get you started in this game.
http://asm.deformed.us - Home of UnderNet #asm, at the moment (read that carefully) they have everything you might ever wan't in the latest versions, as this URL gets better known expect things to get trickier for the files to remain intact, but for now.....
ExeTools - Aaron's home page has everything you might ever need to download, however for most you need to be provided access to the FTP, at the time of checking ftp.txt was a 404, you might need some luck to get access. Since the host is in China, the links might survive for a while.
Links - Try combing/perusing sites I've linked too.
ProTools (Programmers Tools) - Once upon a time, a great tooling site, now more of a news archive of 'latest releases of various protectors' and unpackers, its still worth the visit and Kaparo keeps it very up-to-date, but don't expect to find IDA or SoftICE here.

At this point, you can install the endpoint in interactive mode, using setup.exe, or in unattended (or silent) mode, by pointing to the endpoint.iss file during playback. Note: There is also an -f2 option that is used to designate the location of the InstallShield log file. The InstallShield log file is created during the installation process. If it is possible to have a generic solution, for all recent versions of InstallShield that would be best. Otherwise, if a solution only works for some versions of InstallShield it would be a step on the way. (It would probably be possible to deduce which InstallShield version a setup.exe is by looking at version resources of the exe-file. Innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker Version 0.49 Supports Inno Setup versions 2.0.7 through 6.0.2. Inno Setup is a popular program for making software installations. Unfortunately, there is no official unpacker - the only method of getting the files out of the self-extracting executable. Help with OOOLLLD Installshield decompiler I recieved an old (win 95 era) program I have wanted for a long time recently. It won't install, and acts like there was a problem when the person copied the disk for me.

This is would be Legall or Illegal to change the Installer package but sometimes the package makers do something that convince me to change their packges. The most convincing situation is when I get 'This OS is not Supported' (You know I use the Windows Server 2003 / Windows 2003) on package that will install on Windows XP (which I hate) and when the package says that I JUST WANT TO RIP THE PROGRAMMER APART, so these are the times I want to change the packages (but sometimes there are some other reasons, like serial numbers …).
So lets ROLL, there are two most used package types:
Decompiler Installshield Installation Tool
1) MicrosoftInstaller – MSI: This is very easy, Search the web for Orca (This is part of Windows SDK, but you might find it!) and install it, it is easy to use, just open the .msi file, all the rest is to search for WindowsNT or Version and change the logic and save the package back.
If you want the installer files, search the web for 'Extract msiexec', or refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2006/02/14/532200.aspx or Use the 'MSI Plugin for PowerArchiver 2007'.
Decompile Installshield Installer
2) InstallShield Package: If you want package files search the web for 'Unshield' this is an Open Source software under SourceForge, but you might search for binary in the web and someone might built it before just for you ;).
But if you want to change, this is the hard part, checkout the Setup.ins or Setup.inx these are what you have to DECOMPILE search the web for Sexy InstallShield Decompiler (SID) this is the best (You can download it from http://www.pediy.com/tools/Decompilers.htm), open the ins or inx file with this application and you’ll see a LARGE code appears for you, the only changes you can make is that after you find appropriate line right-click on it and it will show you the valid changes. Those changes are logicly means you can change 'a = b' to 'a != b' or 'a > b' and this is too hard but with a little luck you can. And something else, sometimes the inx files are encrypted that you have to dectrypt them before, but mine never was encrypted.
Decompiler Installshield Installation Download
Last night I used SID for 'DigiOnAudio2 Pro' installer and now I have a package which accept every Serial but the corrent one!!!!
If you find this helpfull or you have any problem, just leave me a message.
Updated: I’ve uploaded some useful (mentioned above) utilities in Windows Live Folders, hope these will help you:
