Question

I got an hotfix from microsoft (msu file). How can i find the contents or the changes done in that file?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can use the Orca - the MSI editor tool. It's part of the Windows Installer 5.0 SDK, which is included in the Windows 7 SDK.

OTHER TIPS

In addition to the given solution, Orca cannot open a MSU file. Orca always demands to open a msi or msp or psp file.

Currently, i think there is no such tool to open a MSU file.

If we want see the content inside, you can extract the MSU. Inside the extracted folder you will get Cab files and xml file
