Does anyone have any experince with working with Microsoft Windows Installer files (.msi extension)? I couldn't find any sort of a SDK to learn from. Any information would be much appericated.


Thank you very much,

The .msi files come with their OWN unpacker. What it means is, check out the M$ site and find out the MSI INSTALLER.

This is actually an extension to windows, that lets you decompile .msi files. Select FILEMON and REGMON while installing the INSTALLER itself, and it'll show you what files are inserted.

Try reversing THESE instead of the .msi files with protections.

Have fun,
