Hi, I work as an MSI packager and came across your app today, its seems pretty awsome, however i have noticed a problem when i have tried to extract a few "Setup Launcher" EXE files i was testing your app on. These Setup Launcher files are EXE files with contain MSI files, basically when i try to extract them i get the prompt saying "initial extraction failed, however it may be possible to extract files from this archine by...." and i do that and i usually get at least one MSI but in alot of cases these Setup Launcher files have more than just a single MSI within them. For example the Macromedia Captivate 1.0x install contains 2 MSI files ISSheild10.msi and captivate.msi as well as a few other ini files, but when using your extractor i only get the captivate.msi file. I'm not xactly sure how you are using this "cache" method to capture these MSI files, but 9/10 times when these setup launcher files run they extract their entire contents to _ %temp%\something _ maybe you could get it to parse %temp% to get the other files? You can get the macromedia captive 1.0x install from here: http://www.adobe.com/go/trycaptivate but the basic problem is present for all the Setup Launcher EXE's i've tryed to extract, it only ever gets me a single MSI file and miss's other ini, txt, exe, msi's Oh and there is a spelling mistake on the "main" screen when this extraction is taking place, it says "Extracting files from" IstallShield package" there is an "n" missing from InstallShield. EDIT: I just checked the captivate EXE and Universal Silent Switch Finder 0.1 reports it as being a "Installshield 2003 installer" this might help you
