DeepResolver is a powerful C++ GUI application that automatically extracts Inno Setup installers, analyzes their dependencies, and creates portable applications with automatic dependency registration.

• Automatic Extraction: Uses innounp.exe to extract Inno Setup installers silently
• ISS Parsing: Intelligently parses .iss script files to detect dependencies (OCX, DLL, TLB files)
• Dynamic Script Generation: Creates registration batch scripts tailored to each application
• Portable Structure: Organizes extracted files in a clean portable structure
• Registry Tracking: Uses registry flags to avoid re-registering dependencies
• Silent Registration: Background dependency registration without user interaction
• Modern GUI: Clean wxWidgets-based interface with progress tracking

• Windows 7 or later (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Administrator privileges (for dependency registration)
• innounp.exe (Inno Setup Unpacker)

• Visual Studio 2019 or later / MinGW-w64
• CMake 3.15 or later
• wxWidgets 3.0 or later
• C++17 compatible compiler

1. Download the latest release from the releases page
2. Extract to a folder of your choice
3. Place innounp.exe in the same directory as DeepResolver.exe
4. Run DeepResolver.exe

wxWidgets:

# Download wxWidgets from https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
# Extract and build:
cd wxWidgets-3.x.x
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install .

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/deep-resolver.git
cd deep-resolver

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release

The compiled executables will be in build/bin/:

• DeepResolver.exe - Main GUI application
• DeepResolverRegister.exe - Silent registration helper

1. Launch DeepResolver

   DeepResolver.exe
   

2. Select Inno Setup Installer

   • Click "Browse..." button
   • Select an .exe file created with Inno Setup

3. Process Setup

   • Click "Process Setup" button
   • Wait for extraction and processing to complete

4. Result

   • Portable application created in [AppName - Portable]/
   • Dependencies stored in DeepResolver/ subdirectory
   • Registration scripts automatically generated

Navigate to the output folder:

cd "bin/[AppName - Portable]"

First Run (Register Dependencies):

Right-click register.bat → Run as administrator

Launch Application:

[AppName].exe

Unregister Dependencies (Optional):

Right-click unregister.bat → Run as administrator

-DBUILD_GUI=ON              # Build GUI application (default: ON)
-DBUILD_REGISTER_EXE=ON     # Build silent registration helper (default: ON)
-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=...    # wxWidgets installation path

DeepResolver uses registry to track resolved applications:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DeepResolver\ResolvedApps\[AppName]
  - Resolved (DWORD): 1 if dependencies registered
  - Version (String): Application version

Solution: Download innounp.exe from here and place it in the same directory as DeepResolver.exe.

Possible causes:

• File is not an Inno Setup installer
• Corrupted installer file
• Insufficient disk space

Solution: Verify the setup file is valid and try again.

Cause: The installer doesn't include the script file, or it's embedded differently.

Solution: Some installers don't include ISS files. DeepResolver requires the ISS file for dependency detection.

Possible causes:

• Not running as administrator
• Dependencies are missing or corrupted
• System already has conflicting versions

Solution:

1. Right-click register.bat and select "Run as administrator"
2. Check if files exist in DeepResolver/ folder
3. Check Event Viewer for detailed error messages

Possible causes:

• Missing wxWidgets DLLs
• Incompatible Windows version

Solution:

• Ensure wxWidgets DLLs are in PATH or same directory
• Use Windows 7 or later

1. Inno Setup Only: Only works with Inno Setup installers
2. ISS File Required: Needs embedded ISS script for dependency detection
3. COM Registration: Only handles COM/ActiveX registration (regsvr32, regtlib)
4. No Driver Support: Cannot handle driver installations
5. Limited PE Injection: PE modification is simplified to launcher creation for safety

• Support for other installer formats (NSIS, WiX)
• Automatic innounp.exe download
• Batch processing of multiple installers
• Portable launcher executable (batch to EXE conversion)
• Advanced PE injection for seamless integration
• Dependency conflict detection
• Custom dependency rules
