msi-info is a command line application that can display the ProductName,
ProductCode and ProductVersion properties of any given MSI package.
To run the msi-info program you need the .NET 8 runtime.
The current .NET 8 runtime can be downloaded from
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0/runtime.
Basic invocation via command line is as follows:
msi-info.exe C:\User\ExAmple\Downloads\Path\To\your.msi
Complete list of command line options:
msi-info.exe [options] MSI_PATH
options:
-? | --help - Shows this help message.
-v | --version - Shows the version of the program.
MSI_PATH - Path to the MSI file for which the information is to be
displayed.
Get the source directly from GitHub by cloning the Git repository (e.g. in Git Bash) and change to the directory after the repository is completely cloned:
git clone https://github.com/striezel/msi-info.git msi-info
cd msi-info
That's it, you should now have the current source code of msi-info on your machine.
After that, open Visual Studio (2019 Community Edition or later recommended) and just build the solution msi-info/msi-info.sln from the checked out sources.
