Does anyone know how to extract the install files(msi or whatever they are) from the full install package for the newest Windows Live Essentials update? I want the latest Photo Gallery update for the collage features, but I am not ready to lose Mesh. (the update removes Mesh and replaces it with Skydrive when updating the other software) Thanks for any help!
Sorry if my post was confusing. What I am trying to do is extract the msi/install file(s) for photo gallery from the wlsetup-all exe file that the whole essentials package comes in. I don't have the msi file, I am trying to extract it or whatever the photo gallery install file(s) is from the exe file.
extract wlsetup-all.exe with universal extractor once extracted go to wlsetup-all\.rsrc\PACKAGE and add .cab file extension to all the files then you can extract the cab files. Or Use resource hacker to open up wlsetup-all.exe In the left hand tree browse to PACKAGE Right click PACKAGE, save PACKAGE resources Save to a new temp folder Eg. D:\temp\package.rc This will output a whole lot of .bin files These are just cab files so we need to do a mass rename “ren *.bin *.cab” Once done select all cab files and extract to a new sub folder \extracted In \extracted you will see all the msi, msp and 7z files you need)
