Lessmsi version 2.11.1 has been released, offering users a portable application that features both a graphical user interface (GUI) and command line options for viewing and extracting contents from MSI files, which are Microsoft Installer packages. MSI files function similarly to executable files, initiating installation routines upon being double-clicked. While the term "Windows Installer" is now commonly used, Lessmsi provides unique functionality that sets it apart from other extraction tools.
To use Lessmsi, users can either go to the File menu and select Open or simply drag and drop an MSI file into the application window. By default, all files within the selected archive are chosen for extraction. Users can then specify a destination folder to complete the process. Lessmsi also includes three additional tabs—Table View, Summary, and Streams—that provide extensive information about the contents of the MSI file. The Summary tab is particularly noteworthy, offering insights such as the Title, Subject, Keywords, Comments, Revision Number, and Date Created.
Overall, Lessmsi not only simplifies the extraction of MSI contents but also caters to advanced users with its wealth of information and features.
In addition to its core functionality, Lessmsi opens the door to a range of related utilities and tasks. Users interested in file management may also explore command-line options for extracting, expanding, or creating CAB files, as well as how to create self-extracting archives in Windows 10. Understanding various file formats, including RAR files and LZMA compression, can further enhance a user's capability to manage and manipulate software installations effectively. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, Lessmsi continues to be a valuable tool for software developers and IT professionals alike
