Today I had the unfortunate situation of installing sample code files. This means downloading a MSI and then running it so it can place the sample code somewhere on your computer. I don’t think any developer can appreciate this. Where is the zip file?
Well, it kind of is a zip file. In a sense. You can run a command to output that pesky MSI to a folder. How?
Running as admin:
msiexec /a yourmsi.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\output_to_here\
