Usage: WiFile.exe package.msi /x [filename,filename2,...]
Usage: WiFile.exe package.msi /u [filename,filename2,...]
Lists (/l), extracts (/x) or updates (/u) files in an MSI or MSM.
Files are extracted using their source path relative to the package.
Specified filenames do not include paths.
Filenames may be a pattern such as *.exe or file?.dll</font></pre>
</p>
<p><br/></p>
<h4>Example</h4>
<p>The most powerful use of WiFile.exe is to do a round-trip update of files in a
compressed MSI/MSM package. It works like this:<ol>
<li>Extract specific file(s) or all files from the package:
<tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /x *</tt></li>
<li>The files are now expanded into their directory structure. You can edit/update
the files however you like.</li>
<li>Update the package with the changed files: <tt>WiFile.exe package.msi /u *</tt>
This also updates the file metadata in the MSI including the file version, size, and hash.</li>
</ol></p>
<p><br/></p>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li><p>Also works with packages that have multiple and/or external cab(s).</p></li>
