March 30, 200521 yr I need to extract an MSI so I can get the files from inside, is this possible?It's a driver, I would prefer to have the driver files instead of using an installer
March 30, 200521 yr WinINSTALL LE (free) can do that.It's the only way I know of doing it but I'm sure there's more program for that.
March 30, 200521 yr jdoe is correct I think that that is the only free tool to do it. Another way is to install an active hd monitor, then when the msi runs, you just watch to see where it drops the temp files, and go and copy them before the get deleted at the end. Pretty simple.
March 30, 200521 yr Author I ended up using the /a switch and doing an admin install point, and pointing it to my hard drive.
March 30, 200521 yr You can also extract many, but not all of them with some common compression utilities.
March 31, 200521 yr From an MSFN thread nonetheless:http://myitforum.techtarget.com/inc/upload...ICabExtract.zip
March 31, 200521 yr Yeah qwerty.msi was posted here weeks ago, and it's really helpful. Nice command line tool Ryan!
