it's possible, look on red text in my pre post

example how to use:
ISArcExtract(0,0,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'),'Some_Path_In_Your_Archive',False,'PASSWoRd',ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'),False);

Oh, i thought it's the destination, i will try it now

Thanks altef_4, it's working but it's unpacking the whole thing instead of just one folder although it's not actually unpacked in the destination folder.

i already tested it and it works for me, can you give example how do you use it?
p.s. you can extract only some folder, not a file (my mistake ).

I have a little problem .. dont know if is the right place to expose my doubt, but .. It is going beyond the mask installer. In photoshop everything is perfect, no fault .. in the script, all the measures are well placed, everything looks in order, except for one thing .. stand out as ridges on the edges that should not be there .. someone can say that this is due?

Here is a picture:...

you must create another form behind main form, then use
CreateFormFromImage(YourNewForm.Handle,ExpandConst ant('{tmp}\your_frame.png')); and move this form when main form is moved.
i create simple example for this, in archive are all nessesary files + two versions: one for Original IS UNICODE and one for Enhanced

UPD: changed mask +added screenshot

Thanks,, it works,, but i think i dont know how to make the mask well.. can you explain me in little words altef? i'm not new to photoshop, but making mask yup ..

Edit 1. i start the script by zero, and put your example in the fist place with my background and mask.. it work... but with the same edges bug.. its my mask, i know :d.. i dont know how to make it well.. When i make mask before for other works, i only set the visible space in black and the rest in white... here dont work that .

just open your image.png in paint and press "save as", then choose bmp and set it to monochrome.

function CreateFormFromImage change size of form to full size of image, maybe problem in this. Try to change sizes of both forms to full size of png image

I see all files processed by ISDone as well and i know that it extracts only what i specified but it takes a long time to extract one folder of a big archive like if it's extracting all the files.

Use GIMP to enhance edges. Grow BMP black part by 1 pixel then you're good to go.

First try to make the archive a little bit big so you can see the actual process.
create 2 folders that contains multiple big files
for example program1 program2 and program3 folders.
Now let's say we want to extract program 2.
You will notice that the installer displaying program1 folder and it's content and program 2 and 3 but it only extract program2 actually.
Extracting the whole archive takes as much as time to extract one folder.
It's like unpacking the whole archive on the fly but not letting the unwanted files to be copied to the destination folder.
Hope i clarified what i meant.

then maybe this some bug in ISDone.dll, i tested on small archive ~100 mb, and saw what all files in archive are processed but extracts only choose folder.

Thanks, razor and altef, work perfectly now,, the problem was the sizes.

Was extrange,, i'm graphic designer and this never happend to me in my work. :P.. I thought the mask in inno were being made differently. I'm trying to make a general installer for all my conversions, and i think I have already achieved. Minimalist and yet easy to locate.

i have a problem... before i setting the example of the mask of Altef, all work perfectly when unninstall.. Now, inno give me an error "cannot call "EXTRACTEMPORALYFILESIZE", funtion during uninstall. I never touch nothing in the unninstall section,, only add the mask functions and procedures..
