I've been sent what _should_ have been a .zip but comes as a .msi As i'm told this is "much the same thing". But not to me....
Apparently this is how some MS-weenies package things. Perhaps he did it knowing that I'm a Linux type and did it to annoy.
P7zip gives ma listing but in there is a .cab file and I thnk that has all the file tree that I want.
So how should .msi files be handled under Linux?
You can unpack the .msi with 7z, and the cab with cabextract.
This is supposed to be a hierarchy of files. There's a lot in the .msi when I list it with 7z. What are all those other files for? I'm only guessing that the cab has what I want, simply because it is the largest item in the listing. What are all those other files in the .msi for? -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
