<h2>MSI, MSP, CAB Diff Tool</h2>
<p><pre><font face="Consolas, Courier New">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</font></pre>
</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>The following types of inputs can be diffed:
<ul>
<li><b>Directories</b>: files and subdirectories are compared.</li>
<li><b>Cab files</b>: internal file list and files are compared.</li>
<li><b>MSI/MSM database files</b>: summary info, tables, and embedded binary and cab streams are compared.</li>
<li><b>MSP files</b>: summary info and embedded file cab are compared. When a patch target MSI is provided, the MSP's tables are also compared.</li>
<li><b>Versioned files</b>: Win32 file version is compared.</li>
<li><b>Text files</b>: if diff.exe is in the path, it is used to get a line-by-line diff.</li>
<li><b>Other files</b>: file size and bytes are compared.</li>
</ul>
All processing is done recursively. So a versioned file within a cab within an MSI within a directory will have meaningful diff results.</p>
