Lessmsi version 2.8.0 has been released, providing users with a portable application that features both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line option for viewing and extracting the contents of Microsoft Installer (MSI) files. These MSI files function similarly to executable files, initiating installation routines when double-clicked. Although Microsoft now refers to it as Windows Installer, Lessmsi stands out among similar utilities by offering a unique set of features not commonly found in other applications.
To use Lessmsi, users can easily open an MSI file by selecting it through the File menu or by dragging and dropping it into the program's interface. By default, all files within the archive are selected for extraction; users simply need to choose a destination folder and confirm to extract the files. The application includes three additional tabs—Table View, Summary, and Streams—each providing extensive information. Notably, the Summary tab displays various metadata, including the Title, Subject, Keywords, Comments, Revision Number, and Date Created, making it a valuable resource for users seeking in-depth details.
Overall, Lessmsi effectively combines user-friendliness with advanced features, making it suitable for both casual users and power users who require more comprehensive capabilities when handling MSI files.
In addition to its extraction functions, Lessmsi could potentially be utilized in various scenarios, such as software development, troubleshooting installation issues, or examining the contents of software packages. As software continues to evolve, tools like Lessmsi remain essential for users who need to manage and manipulate installation files efficiently. Furthermore, with the increasing prevalence of software distribution through MSI files, the importance of effective extraction tools will likely continue to grow
