Hi all
I want ask about a problem in my MSI unpacking.
I testing on a MSI files that needs a password for installing full version,and else
you will install a trial one.
In most cases that I see in tutorials,if I open an msi in "Wise installer for windows"
and converts it to a wsi file,I wiil be able too see dialogs,scripts,etc.
But I have a strange problem.The form that is used for getting full version installation
is not in the main dialogs of msi,and I think it is a COM or another module that is
runnig when msi is started.
Now How I can access this module(completely seperated from main one,only is running with it.)?Is there any idea?

sincerely yours

Hero,

It sounds extreme but it works with a few installers, hit the power switch when the dialog box pops up, then look in your documents and settings directory for the extracted setup files, you might even find an install script, the ones I have seen do show an encrypted password, but rather than trying to decipher that, just delete the dialog asking for a serial - and then run the setup from that directory.
