MSI, MSP, CAB Diff Tool

+ + 

Usage: DDiff target1 target2 [options]
+Example: DDiff d:\dir1 d:\dir2
+Example: DDiff setup1.msi setup2.msi
+Example: DDiff patch1.msp patch2.msp -patchtarget target.msi
+Example: DDiff package1.cab package2.cab
+
+Options:
+  /o [filename]    Output results to text file (UTF8)
+  /p [package.msi] Diff patches relative to target MSI
+

+


+ +

The following types of inputs can be diffed: +

    +
  • Directories: files and subdirectories are compared.
    • +
  • Cab files: internal file list and files are compared.
    • +
  • MSI/MSM database files: summary info, tables, and embedded binary and cab streams are compared.
    • +
  • MSP files: summary info and embedded file cab are compared. When a patch target MSI is provided, the MSP's tables are also compared.
    • +
  • Versioned files: Win32 file version is compared.
    • +
  • Text files: if diff.exe is in the path, it is used to get a line-by-line diff.
    • +
  • Other files: file size and bytes are compared.
    • +
+ All processing is done recursively. So a versioned file within a cab within an MSI within a directory will have meaningful diff results.
