InstallShield unpacker
I couldn’t find anything that would unpack the (entirely unnecessary) Nokia map loader set-up application, which is some InstallShield 7 nastiness.
deshield can. Given the number of magic numbers in it, I fully expect it not to work with other installers.
Why do they bother? The data isn’t even compressed; it’s just bit-twiddled a little with the file-name, and this magic number: [ 0x13, 0x35, 0x86, 0x07 ].

Does wine not have something for this?

As far as I’m aware, the only Winey tools for this are liborange and unshield (which the name was based off), neither of which could read the file.
liborange seems to be the only other thing referencing the magic numbers, so presumably has seen this format before.
Reverse-engineering it was half the fun, anyway.
