protect inno setup against unpacking
 

Hello,

can someone tell me how they protected their exe?

when I want to unpack K-Lite codec pack basic it asks for a password

my question is how did they do it and protect their setup?

we setup installed is not asked for password only when unpacking with inno extractor


I've been looking for the answer for months, how did they do it?


I would be very grateful for the help of the professionals here in the forum :)

Depending on what resources you're trying to look for you can simply run the installer, and at varying stages of progression check the temp folder contents (Sort by "Date Modified" under the directory "C:\Users\{USER_NAME}\AppData\Local\Temp" and go through each folder till your find the one pertaining to the executable in question) and see if the contents you're seeking are being dumped there.

But there must be a way to protect your own setup against unauthorized unpacking?

same as K-Lite codec (as an example)

I think something has to be added to the original script before I pack it with inno setup

setting a normal password is too easy because the user knows it
