How extract deployment files from MSI database

QUESTION

How extract deployment files from MSI database

Asked 2018-Aug-10 at 18:04

MSI database contains set of tables, and I can successfully enumerate File table, which has all deployable file' meta-deta. What I need to extract is the actual contents of those files. msiexec, lessmsi, 7-zip all can do it, but I couldn't find any source/API to do it.

What I've discovered it that all other (resource) files are in Binary table, and Data field can be used to get content of those files (like icons, custom DLL etc).

Further, I found and know that Media table contains information about the .CAB file (MSI has all content embedded with . This simply means the CAB file contains the actual content. I probably need to read contents from "Structured Storage" of the .msi file.

How to extract the contents of CAB/MSI file, using native C Msi* functions?

The most straightforward to extract all the files to some location is to install the product in "advertised" mode. If you do a:

msiexec /a [path to msi] TARGETDIR=[some folder]

you'll see what happens.

In C++ call MsiInstallProduct () with that command line.
