On Linux there is unshield, which worked well for me (even if the GUI includes custom deterrents like license key prompts). Usage: isxunpack.exe yourinstallshield.exe setup.exe /silent /stage_only ISRootStagePath="choose-a-location".Suite based (may not be obvious how to install the resulting files): setup.exe /a"choose-another-location" /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=\"choose-a-location\"".Or, to also extract prerequisites (for versions where it works), Setup.exe /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=\"choose-a-location\"" Select the folder you want to extract to and click Extract. You will be told that it cant be displayed, but that not actually true. Right-click on any of the highlighted files and click on Extract. Install the package cabextract: sudo apt-get install cabextract From the command line, you can now do cabextract file.cab You can also configure the Archive Manager GUI to open cab files once cabextract is installed. Typically the Extract option is grayed out, but we have a workaround. MSI Based (may not result in a usable image for an InstallScript MSI installation): Open File Explorer and double-click on the CAB file you need to open. There's no supported way to do this, but won't you have to examine the files related to each installer to figure out how to actually install them after extracting them? Assuming you can spend the time to figure out which command-line applies, here are some candidate parameters that normally allow you to extract an installation.
