Preliminary checks

[X] I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.
[X] I've checked that this issue is reproducible on the latest snapshot build.

Platform

Linux

Describe the bug

Once I try to select the EXE file installation from GOG the system shows the error message window:

"innoextract was not found in your system. Unable to extract the installer package. Installation aborted."

The file is located correctly.

Save file

I'm not allowed to send the GOG installer, but available now here https://www.gog.com/en/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_2_gold_edition

Additional info

Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon

Well, you need to install the innoextract tool using your system's package manager, so that it is present in PATH.

Yep, I've installed it additionally and got:

me/user/homm2 or /tmp/installer.exe): /home/alex/Downloads/h2inst.exe Verifying the installer package, please wait... Not a supported Inno Setup installer! Done with 1 error.

Probably the innoextract version offered by your package manager is a bit old. Latest version of innoextract is 1.9:

You can also try to contact the innoextract developer directly. Our scripts use innoextract, but we are not developing it.

@AShynkevich The minimal version of innoextract for unpacking homm's GOG installer is 1.9.

I suppose we can close this.
