CAB/MSI to SLD, Build component

[Guest]

Hi,

i've got another question,

is there a simple (!!!) way to convert an msi or cab-file to an sld-File?

First, i tried to capture the installation with RegMon, FileMon, InCRTL5,
RegShot, MSI-Extractor and so on..

I've got a really complex msi-file, which contains more than 400 files and a
huge amount of registry settings.

I gave up to build the compontent manually...

Isn't there an automatic way to do it?

Thank you for your help

Short answer is No :-(

With huge CAB/MSI's sometimes it is worth to just install them during or after FBA. Often it won't change your image footprint much
if you include MSI installer component support since the dependencies of the application to be componentize are already heavy.
