HWUN v0.50a - Heuristic Wise UNpacker (VirtualPascal)
|
||
------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
HWUN is designed for the purpose of extracting WISE
|
||
setup files, made with WISE Installmaster or other
|
||
compatible applications.
|
||
|
||
To get in knowledge of your file being in this
|
||
format there are a few things which tell you that
|
||
those big EXE file installer you've got, really
|
||
is a WISE file.
|
||
|
||
1. Splash screen with the text "Initializing
|
||
WISE Installation Wizard"
|
||
2. Splash screen with altered text, but with
|
||
graphics in blue, containing "WISE"
|
||
3. The executable icon showing a desktop PC
|
||
with a blue-lined package on the left
|
||
and a floppy disk on the right with a
|
||
yellow label
|
||
4. The executable icon showing a floppy disk
|
||
with a blue arrow pointing to the red
|
||
led of another device
|
||
|
||
But nevermind, even if you are not sure, just
|
||
let HWUN run over your installation exe file.
|
||
|
||
For further information about commandline
|
||
options and format please start HWUN without
|
||
any parameter.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Just some words to the data displayed during
|
||
the whole process:
|
||
|
||
Approximated offset stands for the offset
|
||
within the file, of which HWUN thinks that
|
||
at this position the packed data and so the
|
||
single - to be installed - files exist.
|
||
|
||
Real archive offset displays the address
|
||
within the file containing the VERIFIED, so
|
||
working packed data.
|
||
|
||
Last file start displays the start address
|
||
within the installation exe file for the
|
||
last extracted file. Last file end is the
|
||
same except not the start, but the end
|
||
address is shown.
|
||
|
||
Last file CRC32 is a checksum, which can be
|
||
found behind the packed data of each single
|
||
file within the big installation exe.
|
||
It is used to verify the extracted files.
|
||
|
||
Files extracted shows the number of files
|
||
which are extracted right now.
|
||
|
||
Resolved filenames shows the number of files
|
||
for which a filename has been found.
|
||
|
||
Multifiles counts the number of files which
|
||
have the same filename as a file extracted
|
||
before the current one. WISE installations
|
||
sometimes have different files with the same
|
||
name for language or operating system purposes.
|
||
|
||
Dialog & bitmap files are files which are
|
||
userdefined (i.e. the person who compiled the
|
||
installation program added these files or
|
||
dialogs himself to the installation system).
|
||
|
||
Full job completed just shows the progress.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Some words to the users of older HWUN versions:
|
||
|
||
You'll recognize a speed loss of about 50%-75%
|
||
which is simply caused by my selfmade inflate
|
||
routines. They were needed to avoid those
|
||
access violations / runtime errors caused by
|
||
the 1:1 copied inflate unit.
|
||
|
||
But: HWUN is still much faster than E_WISE and
|
||
I can't say about ExWise because I still have
|
||
no WISE executable compatible with that one.
|
||
|
||
I think the speed is still okay, so the price
|
||
for more stability.
|
||
|
||
And another great thing which comes along:
|
||
Whenever an error occurs, it's my fault,
|
||
not the one of Oliver Fromme or some other
|
||
person. I have written every line myself,
|
||
so I understand the whole program. Now you
|
||
can blame everything on me! ;-))
