Hi,

I would love to have support for the popular MSI package format.
Details are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer

In Linux I use "file" to get the strings from the executable and then I search for the string version.
Unfortunately, there is no standard what is being produced by "file" and parsing it is error prone.
That's why this request.

Thanks
Sorin

Hi Sorin,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've taken a quick look and it seems that MSI is a proprietary and undocumented format.  Considering the lack of requests I have had to support this format, it may not be worthwhile since it seems painful to implement.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
