InstallShield archive (IBT) refers to an archive file format associated with InstallShield. The filename is usually "setup.ibt".

[edit] Format details

An IBT file consists of a sequence of member file segments. Each segment begins with four strings, each terminated by a NUL byte:

  1. Name of compressed file
  2. Name of original file
  3. A version number of some sort
  4. A number that can be used to locate the next segment

An embedded SZDD-compressed file follows. It begins with the standard SZDD signature bytes: 'S' 'Z' 'D' 'D' 0x88 0xf0 0x27 0x33.

[edit] Identification

Refer to the Format details section.

It's possible that, in practice, all such files start with "setup.dl_" 0x00 "setup.dll" 0x00.
