Broken Hope Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 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
jdoe Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 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.
purewaveform Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 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.
Broken Hope Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 I ended up using the /a switch and doing an admin install point, and pointing it to my hard drive.
Yzöwl Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 You can also extract many, but not all of them with some common compression utilities.
Gogol Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Found in this place a few weeks ago ... Qwerty.Msihttp://www.qwerty-msi.com/
RyanVM Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 From an MSFN thread nonetheless:http://myitforum.techtarget.com/inc/upload...ICabExtract.zip
totoymola Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Yeah qwerty.msi was posted here weeks ago, and it's really helpful. Nice command line tool Ryan!
