of the intelligence of corporate types.

The Tom Thumb grocery store here in Coppell, Texas just underwent a slight renovation.

Among other things, they replaced the photo-mat with a Startbucks coffee bar.

That in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. The only issue is that if I walked out the front door ( the one on the right ), I could throw a rock through the front door of a real Starbucks.

Maybe the location scouts were on vacation that week…

Tools: Extracting the contents of an MSI file

Posted on August 30th, 2006 mitch  Print No comments

Have you ever downloaded an MSI installer package and just wanted to see what was in it or just wanted a single file from inside? Normally, you'd have to install the MSI and do your poking around afterwards. No longer

Scott Willeke has written a utility called Less MSIérables that will allow you to view and extract files from an MSI file.

It is exteremely handy and worth adding to your toolbox.

Thanks Scott.
