[wix-users] Viewing msi table

[Nir Bar]

You can execute the InstallShield exe with log file like this:

setup.exe /v"/l*v %TEMPT%\msi.log"



While the UI is open, open the log file and find where the MSI is located.

Then, copy the MSI and close the UI.

No it was not developed using wix but Installshield. Im left only with exe file. 

So can we find embedded MSI only in ProgramData folder . Or shall we use any methods or tools for this purpose

You can extract the MSI from the wrapping EXE.

if the EXE was developed using WiX, use dark.exe

Otherwise, usually the embedded MSI is extracted to a random subfolder of %TEMP%, or to C:\ProgramData\...
