I'm currently working automated creation of SCCM packages and I wonder to have some help with msi extraction from exe sources. Usually opening exe installer with 7zip solves the problem and can be automated.
But some installers, like JRE installer, have something like MSI tables inside (!InstallExecuteSequense, !Property, ect.)
Extracted MSI can be found somewhere in appdata, but for automatisation purposes, starting the installer and searching in appdata is quite bad idea. As these "files" inside exe installer are in fact msi tables, I suppose that there is a way to extract or compile msi without executing the installer.
Does anyone know how to do this or heard something similar?
