Less Msiérables (LessMSI) Is Available Again!

After moving the server to a new location, world travels, and fighting a barrage of hardware problems, I've finally had the time to put things back together. blogs.pingpoet.com and LessMSI- the tool to extract from MSI files - are now available again!


I'll continue to monitor everything there too, but this is my new home on the web, so it is best to leave comments and suggestions about LessMSI here.

Update: Yes, as surprised and embarrassed as I am to say it, the latest version of LessMSI / Less Msiérables is in fact from November, 10, 2005. A

direct link to download it is here


. I do plan to update it again (I have a long list of requests and ideas), but unfortunately I have a busy schedule over this summer and I don't know when I'll be able to do so.

So is the 11/10/2005 the latest version of lessmsierables ?

Also don't see a download link for it here on your new site.

Is the server up? The link does not work...:(

Server is up again! There was a storm that took my server down and I haven't been there to fix it due to traveling.

scott,

good util, but clicking on extract ( while all the files checked off ) does nothing for me? If I check off one file, I get the dialog box to save them in a specific dir, I choose the dir, lessmsi makes the folders, but does not actually extract the file?

oh this is with vista x64 if that matters.

scott said...

It is almost definitely due to x64. Unfortunately, I'm traveling for business over the next month and don't have x64 test machine available to me. However, I'll have a look and see if I can find anything obviously wrong.

ruckerz: I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but you can try right-clicking the executable and running it as an admin if you have not already. You should also be able to use that compatibility feature of vista to tell it to run in x32 mode, but I can't remember exactly how to do it.
When I have an x64 machine available to me again I'll do some testing and fix it.
