How to extract msi from exe?
Hi all,
I want to extract and msi from EXE.
I dont want to go for repackaging.
For mysql, When i ran setup.exe, i got msi file in Temporary folder, as it gets uncompressed in temp.
but this is not happening for all exe.
Only some exe's are extracting msi in temo.
So is there any other possiblity to extract msi from exe.

Hi Ranjit, you could do what is called an Administrative install. You simply run your setup.exe from a command prompt and pass in the /a command line switch. So for example, let's say your setup.exe filename is My.exe. You would open a DOS/Command window and change directory to where My.exe is located. After doing that, you would enter My.exe /a and it will unpackage the .msi from My.exe
Hope this helps!
