Would like to know if there are any examples of how to extract a file within an MSI file given the file name only.
Obviously, this file extraction is independent of the actual msi installation launch itself.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The problem is that you will have to determine whether or no the file is stored in the binary stream of the msi, or in a .cab file, extrenal to the msi.
Once you have this information, you should be able to just either extract the file from the binary stream, or open the cab file and grab the file out.
this is pretty complicated.
What do you need to achieve?
