msi plugin v1.2 for Total Commander
|
|
|
|
installation:
|
|
|
|
- unzip the msi.wcx to your Total Commander installation directory
|
|
- choose the menu configuration - options
|
|
- choose the packer tab
|
|
- click the configure packer extension dlls button
|
|
- type msi as new extension
|
|
- click new type, and select msi.wcx
|
|
- click ok
|
|

|
|
- select msi.wcx
|
|

|
|
|
|
usage:
|
|
the plugin provides basic support for browsing and extracting from
|
|
msi (microsoft installer) database files.
|
|
note: some msi files don't contain any actual data. they only contain
|
|
references to external (mostly) cab files (which in turn are described
|
|
in another table of the msi file). those can be viewed with the normal
|
|
capability of Total Commander and may be on different volumes, in the
|
|
same directory (most likely) or elsewhere. the plugin just displays the
|
|
files actually contained within the msi file (as ole data stream). msi
|
|
files which don't contain any actual data are displayed as empty. msi
|
|
files may contain data of any type, but most of the time they just
|
|
contain one or more cab files.
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
version 1.2 now also opens msp files (requested by some users). the same as
|
|
to msi files also applies to msp files with the addition, that the ole
|
|
streams contained in msp files don't have to be entire files, but can
|
|
only be patches. the plugin now displays all data streams contained in
|
|
the file (also on user request), whatever good it may do.
|
|
|
|
note:
|
|
if you receive an error message indicating that msi.wcx is not a valid
|
|
packer plugin (happens on older systems), then you most likely need
|
|
to install the msi dlls on your system. you can get these free of
|
|
charge from microsoft:
