Extract MSI from EXE

Question

I want to extract the MSI of an EXE setup to publish over a network.

For example, using Universal Extractor, but it doesn\'t work for Java Runtime Environment.

Answer 1

7-Zip should do the trick.

With it, you can extract all the files inside the EXE (thus, also an MSI file).

Although you can do it with 7-Zip, the better way is the administrative installation as pointed out by Stein Åsmul.
