I tried on these two installshield installers, and it didn't work.  I guess the
program is out of date or something.  I'm not keywording, unless someone can
come up with an installshield file that this tool *can* unpack.  Please reopen
in that case.

So it looks like you cannot extract directly from installshield installers, just from the cab files which are 
part of the installer file.

Q: I can't extract this DATA1.CAB file... 

A: There are two different "cabinet" file formats in popular use. Some are Microsoft cabinets, which can 
be unpacked with cabextract. Others are InstallShield cabinets, which can be unpacked with unshield. 
You can distinguish the two files like so:

InstallShield cabinets are normally called data1.cab and have a matching data1.hdr file.
InstallShield cabinets begin with the magic ID "ISc(". Microsoft cabinets begin with the magic ID "MSCF".
Unpacking an InstallShield cabinet with cabextract 0.6 gives the error message "not a Microsoft cabinet 
file". cabextract 1.0 gives the warning "WARNING; found InstallShield header. This is probably an 
InstallShield file. Use UNSHIELD (http://synce.sf.net) to unpack it." and the error message "no valid 
cabinets found".
