Periodically I forget how to do this, so this is a self-gratifying post to save myself time in the future. I've been using SugarSync to keep files in sync across my various computers, and I've got a c:\cfg-bin\ on Windows that I use. I've got most of the Sysinternals utilities, and other goodies like fport, junction, and depends.

On Vista I use Frameworkx's Vista Shortcut Manager to change the overlaid shortcut icon to be something less obtrusive.

Anyways it's a very simple command:

msiexec /a <path to MSI file> /qb TARGETDIR=<path to destination folder>

So to extract FxVisor32.msi to C:\cfg-bin\Vista Shortcut Manager you'd run:

msiexec /a FxVisor32.msi /qb TARGETDIR="C:\cfg-bin\Vista Shortcut Manager"
