gosh Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well here's a guess. Run the exe, and as setup is in front of you look at %tmp% for the .msi file.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenXP Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Gosh´s tips works for me You just abort the install before the last step and You will find the .msiin Your ?:\windows\downloaded installation map. Good luck./ SwedenXP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un4given1 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 just FYI. If you were unable to extract an MSI file from the EXE then you could use programs such as InstallSheild or VISE, or there are many others. Some of them are quite expensive (IS is thousands of dollars) but they all offer trial periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 And winstall LE, that lets you edit and extract the MSI packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un4given1 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Now... if you already have an MSI you want to edit, then I recommend Orca. You will need to know a little bit about the product and MSI's to use it though. I used it to edit the default selected properties when you install a program.
