DumpSIS - Installation file decompiler in Software Installation Toolkit

DumpSIS is a PC-based utility which decompiles a SIS file.

The input to DumpSIS is a v9.x SIS file. Its output is the corresponding package file and (optionally) the source files. CreateSIS can be run on the resultant files to recreate the SIS file. When run on pre-v9.x SIS files, DumpSIS reports an error.

DumpSIS is found in the standard tools location, \epoc32\tools\.

> DumpSIS [-i] [-v] [-h] [-x] [-l[-y]][-d directory] filename.sis

where:

Argument	Description
`-i`	displays verbose output
`-v`	displays the `DumpSIS` version number
`-h`	displays help
`-x`	extracts the files
`-d`	specifies the directory to which the files are extracted, creating it if necessary. By default, files are extracted to a directory with the same as the SIS file.
`-p`	pauses before finishing.
`-l`	lists the executables and their capabilities. It also verifies that the capabilities listed in the SIS file are the same as those in the executable(s).
`-y`	lists the executables and their capabilities, in the format supported by the `DumpInstallFileStatus` tool. This option must be specified with the `-l` option.

The source-filenames specified in the original package file are not stored in the SIS file so DumpSIS invents names for the extracted files.
DumpSIS does not reinstate timestamps.
If the SIS file is signed, you can display and strip the signatures with SignSIS; DumpSIS makes no attempt to preserve or display any signing information.
