Is it possible to patch the Myst III Windows exe on OS X?

[Diskutant]

I'm on OS X Yosemite and have no access to Windows or a CD-Rom Drive right now. But I have the Datafiles and the unpatched Windows exe. So, is there some tool to extract the patched exe from the patch without using Windows?

You can use innoextract http://constexpr.org/innoextract/.

I finally was able to install innoextract and try it, but it just gives me "not a supported Inno Setup installer"

Are you using the lastest version? Are we talking about this patch installer:
http://demos.residualvm.org/patches/myst3v122patch.exe

Here is what happens for me (on Linux):

Code: Select all

$ innoextract --version
innoextract 1.4
Extracts installers created by Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 5.5.3

$ innoextract -e myst3v122patch.exe 
Extracting "Myst III: Exile (1.22 Patch)" - setup data version 4.1.3
 - "app/bin/drvmgt.dll" (33.5 KiB)
 - "app/bin/M3.exe" (1.02e+03 KiB)
 - "app/bin/secdrv.sys" (28 KiB)
 - "app/M3DATA/OVER101.m3o" (299 KiB)
 - "app/M3DATA/TEXT/ENGLISH.m3t" (5.4 MiB)
 - "app/readme 1.22.txt" (3.03 KiB)
Done.

$ file app/bin/M3.exe 
app/bin/M3.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

I see, the english patch works, the german one won't.

Same innoextract version as yours.

You can use the German patch from our downloads page. It is a zip archive.

Oh boy do I feel stupid now. I was sure that I tried that and Residual didn't recognize that. Works like a charm now, thanks!
