What's inside lessmsi

  1. Use the lessmsi GUI for MSI inspection

    master

    The lessmsi graphical user interface provides two primary ways to inspect MSI files:

    1. Files Tab: View detailed information about the files contained within the MSI.
    2. MSI Table Viewer: View the internal database tables that make up the Windows Installer (.msi) structure. This is useful for developers working extensively with installers.
  2. Enable Windows Explorer Integration

    master

    lessmsi can integrate with Windows Explorer, allowing you to right-click an .msi file and select "Extract Files" to extract its contents directly into a folder.

    To enable or disable this feature:

    1. Open the lessmsi GUI.
    2. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
    3. Toggle the explorer integration setting.
