Hi
This enhancement request is simply that the stub installer msi that msiexec would drop at the same level as PFiles64 also be extracted. Apologies if I have expressed that in an inaccurate way. I feel that including it makes the extract complete, and additionally it could be useful.
My use case was this file: https://download.calibre-ebook.com/9.4.0/calibre-64bit-9.4.0.msi which on one and only one PC would not run stating "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package". LessMSI extracted the files which I would have used for manual replace but then realised I can use msiexec on a different PC to extract. This gave me the extracted program files but also the file "calibre-64bit-9.4.0.msi" which is just the installer without the files which worked. I think LessMSI should not provide less than msiexec.
Sorry for all the words, and thanks for sharing.
