Any way to extract binaries from a msi file? Without actually installing the program. I have binaries that target the GAC and I need to extract them to create a patch...but I have no way to get the original binaries with out running the install, which will register them in the GAC.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony.

Perform an administrative install using
msiexec.exe /a your.msi
This should only extract the files to a location you specify, without actually installing/registering anything

Thanks, but I got a 2203 error towards the end. Visual Studio.net created the msi along with the setup.exe. I'll look into the administrative install more now that I have some direction.

If the files are embedded in a cab file you can extract the cab file and use something that can read cab files to get the binaries out of the assembly.
Just a thought,
