      I think you have to write a program using the MSI API and open the MSI files yourself and do all the 'property extraction'. I've seen better runs in my shorts! - Patches O'Houlihan

        I use orca.exe to get to the heart and soul of the MSI file. Look for the orca.msi hidden in the windows 2000 resource kit directories. Install it and then you can right click on an MSI to view it's database for reading/writing etc... -- modified at 18:51 Wednesday 14th June, 2006 Oops. I guess it's in the Platform SDK. My Bad.
