| 36 | <h4>Example</h4> | ||
| 37 | <p>The most powerful use of WiFile.exe is to do a round-trip update of files in a | ||
| 38 | compressed MSI/MSM package. It works like this:<ol> | ||
| 39 | <li>Extract specific file(s) or all files from the package: | ||
| 40 | <tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /x *</tt></li> | ||
| 41 | <li>The files are now expanded into their directory structure. You can edit/update | ||
| 42 | the files however you like.</li> | ||
| 43 | <li>Update the package with the changed files: <tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /u *</tt> | ||
| 44 | This also updates the file metadata in the MSI including the file version, size, and hash.</li> | ||
| 45 | </ol></p> | ||
| 46 | <p><br/></p> | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | <h4>Notes</h4> | ||
| 49 | <ul> | ||
| 50 | <li><p>Also works with packages that have multiple and/or external cab(s).</p></li> | ||
