[sclug] Extracting msi files

[Derek M Jones]

All,

Does anybody know of a Linux tool that will extract the contents
of a Microsoft Install (msi) file?

I know about Wix.

The Wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Installer
is very informative, from a Microsoft perspective.

This link gives some interesting history.
