I had to use a program that Microsoft puts out for free today. It is called orca and it can be used to edit MSIs at the database level. It is a good tool, but to get it you have to download like 300 megs of junk from MS. It seemed pretty dumb, so I am posting here so that I don’t have to do that anymore.

Hi dude, nice stuff.Thanks a lot.
I must add my own ton of thanks. So helpful great work. Thank you.
Thanks man! Dude You Rock!
You’ve probably had enough thanks for now, but I can’t think of anything else… except “gracias amigo”
Thanks a lot! I just need to look into some msi files and did not want several gigs of developer tools, you’re a star!
Thanks a lot dude !!
Thanks, I can’t believe MS still hasn’t caught on that we want this as a separate download.
Thanks for hosting this! I might have 8MB broadband, but it’s such a waste downloading the whole SDK for a tiny app I’ll use just once!
Brent,
Big thank you for posting this. Nevertheless I took the liberty to look for the latest and dl’d the new SDK to finally get it. So i offer it up here if you’re interested. Shoot me an email and I’ll get it to you.

Thank you!!!
BIG Thanks Brent! You the man!
Thanks! I deleted my installer of Orca a while back. But, I need it again now so this is a great help.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! more than 2 years ago, people continue to download this jewel. A nice and powerful MSI toolkit I didn’t knew.
Best Regards from France!

thanks a lot man
Brent – You are truly an Instantiated_Prince amongst [class]less objects…. 😉 Thanks!!
I am having difficulties running a Commandos Behind Enemy Lines. I have already install it, but when i try to run it all that appears on my screen is blackness. But i can hear the sound, so i think that the problem is in graphic. Someone told me that thin Orca program will help me. I have downloaded it but i don’t know how to use it. So i am asking for some help. If you know what could be a problem and if you know how to solve it can you write it down on this web page. Thanks
Genius! Thanks so much!
Even two years later, your generous link is still delivering joy. I had to use orca to fix the VMware VI3 client so it can run on Vista x64. The 2008 SDK is 1.3GB ! Thanks sincerely.
Thanks for the great tool!

You just saved me a 300MB download that was the only way to install a few programs on Windows 7 6801, thanks!

Hi Brent,
Have you tried the alternative MSI editor called InstEd? It is free and it has a lot more functionality. The latest GA version is here – http://www.instedit.com/download2?file=InstEd-1.5.3.7.msi

Craig
