Hello, bonsoir !
- Some plugin exists for the M$Installer, you might rather post in the "Plugins…" forum, I don't use this stuff, though I have the MSI @ home for some rare cases…
- You can too browse the Author's site and the unofficial plugin-site very "rich" at this
Kind regards, cordialement,

Greetings,
- Download the plugin.
- navigate in TC to the Folder where you saved the plugin.
- Put the cursor onto the zip-file and press [Enter]
- There pops up a dialog that asks you if you want to install the plugin
- Select 'yes' and confirm ( or adjust) the path to install the plugin to
- The TC Plugins Dialog pops up and shows you the new installed pluginassociated to the extension msi
- Press OK and restart Total Commander
- Now you can switch into M$ msi-files as if this were folder

Thanks to all for your help.
But I have a little problem with innosetup executable.
For Ms Msi file, no problem at all, but for InnoSetup, something seems not to be correct.
I followed all the recommandation of the help file and various txt file but each time I try to display the content of a Innosetup file I receive the following error : "Total Commander
Error in packed file ... OK
Here is the Innosetup section I put in my multiarc.ini file :

What could be wrong ...

First of all: did you restart TC ?
Also:

This is my InnoSetup section of MULTIARC.INI for innounp.exe ver 0.16
Works very good.
Which version of innounp you have ?

Yes, I restarted TC several times...
I have InnoUnp 0.17 and multiarc 1.1.3.4...
Supplemental question :
I tried to add the Ino extension, but it does not work either, so other than manually how couldI remove it from the available extensions for this plugin ?
And if I define the exe extension, each time I want to run an exe, even if it is not an innosetup file, it tried to unpack it, so, how to solve this situation ?

Did you add
?
This is addon from innounp 0.17:
Change only path to archiver and try.
Define any unused extension. Extension is unimportant - this lines:
ID=49 6E 6E 6F
IDPos=48
means that file is detected by content.
Associate extension with Multiarc.
Open archive by CTRL+PAGEDOWN, not ENTER.
