Using innoexxtract to unpack the longest journey under Linux I encountered the following error message.

Extracting "The Longest Journey" - setup data version 5.6.2 (unicode)

boost::filesystem::directory_iterator::construct: No such file or directory

Already tried different variables but the issue persists. Any thoughts/help?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

when i roast brussels sprouts i like to sprinkle a couple tbsp of innoextrect on them. it gives them a nice umami zing.

Have you tried using a newer version of innoextract? I really hate it that GOG installers often require the most recent beta version of innoextract to use. For example, the one I presently have installed in my system doesn't support version 5.6.2 of setup data.

That's because those are multi-language files. You need to specify in the command line arguments what language you want to extract. You'll need something like this:

innoextract -e --default-language en-US setup_XXXXX.exe

Replace en-US with it-IT for Italian, if you want. Be aware that the language argument is case sensitive, so you write it en-US, not en-us or EN-US. Hope that helps, but check innoextract's help if you're still having trouble.

Will try it now and see how it goes, As for the version, I'm using 1.8.2.

There is no 1.8.2 version of innoextract.
What do you get with the following command?

You should probably use the latest dev (beta) version found here. I've used the dev versions for more than a year without any problems.
