Extracting a TapeTrack MSI from the setup.exe

TapeTrack Windows Programs are provided in the format of an InstallShield setup executable.

This setup program will take care up upgrading the product and installing any prerequisites, such as Visual Studio runtimes.

If you wish to extract the encapsulated MSI from the setup executable, open a command prompt with administrator privileges an change directory to where you have downloaded the setup executable.

run the following code, setting the file location you want to write the msi file to (in this example C:\MSI). Making sure you have created the directory before running the extraction.

setup.exe /s /x /b"C:\MSI" /v"/qn"

In the above example, the MSI will be extracted from the C:\MSI folder.

Open file explorer to locate and run the msi file for installation.
