Can't extract Theme Hospital (v3)

[squigley]

CorsixTH suggests I use innoextract on the setup binary downloaded from GOG for Theme Hospital to extract the data, but it throws an error.

They are using v2 something of the installer in the example, and what I just downloaded from GOG is v3 ("setup_theme_hospitalv3(28027).exe")

It gives the following output:

Warning: Unexpected Auto Boolean value: 19

The setup is not a corrupt download; I was able to run it with Wine and install it no problem.

setup_theme_hospital_v3_(28027).exe from GOG extracts without errors with innoextract version 1.9. Version 1.8 should also work, older versions won't.

Ah. Thanks for looking into this. I used the one provided by Linux Mint 19:

squigley@Latitude-E5530-non-vPro ~/Downloads $ innoextract -v innoextract 1.6 Extracts installers created by Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 5.5.8

I probably should have tried downloading a newer version and trying that first :-)

@squigley, for an up-to-date innoextract on Linux Mint I suggest using this PPA: Stable Arx Libertatis releases

It is maintained by dscharrer, so you can trust it ;)
