it didnt even recognize a .msi

May I ask why you would need to know what the switch's are when you already know its a MSI file?

If it's an msi, you don't have to use USSF because you already know the switches of an msi. If you need to know more switches that your msi supports, you should use an msi editor and browse/edit the properties in the property table.

indeed. You already know that it's an MSI, why would you need a switch finder to tell you?

This program's purpose is for foreign installers or non-normal ones. MSI is definately not in that category.

muiz -

Not to get down on you...just you phrased your statement wrongly...in which you kind of knock the project...and also expect things beyond what the project was meant for.

Yes it would be nice by all means if it reported MSI files, and maybe I or some one else will alter the source code to reflect that...since it is public.

Any ways refer to the Unattended Guide for the bulk of information about switchs.

If you need at the drop of a hat information dealing with MSI's just open up the console '{WIN+R}cmd{ENTER}msiexec /?{ENTER}' and full details will be listed.

I agree MSI are too easy to spot and is not a foreign installer. Actually its native. Anyway I think it is not necessary to modify the app NoLogic but do what u will.

Greetings from a long-time AutoIt user but new MSFN Forum member:

I've attached a script with the following modifications:

• Hides the PEiD window a bit better by setting the StayOnTop registry value. (I thought about enhancing the SplashText window, but ended up just commenting that out.)
  
• Displays information for MSI files If StringRight($FileName, 4) = ".msi" Then Run("msiexec /?", "")
  
• Optionally takes a command line paramter. If you use AutoIt to compile the script into an EXE, you can can simply drag-and-drop the installer on top of the EXE to get the information.

Attached File(s)

•  USSF_mod.au3 (4.83K)
  Number of downloads: 497

CyberSlug -

Thanks for the update to the code & good to see you visiting.

[totoymola]

Hello CyberSlug.

Nice update. Does this work with the latest version of PEiD? Honestly, I don't use this because PEiD is more than enough for me. But it's still good to have this for educational purposes.

[sanjose]

thanks a ton for all the contribution, I have used it and its fabulous

[Swimming_Bird]

helper.bin download attachment dead.

[Nologic]

Very minor update changed USSF to use latest build of PEiD v0.93. (simple find and replace in script)

[PEiD]

For those that do not know the Helper.bin is just the exe of PEiD renamed.

[totoymola]

I tried using the latest version of PEiD for this, but it didn't work.

Confirmed as working here. Got PEid from working link here.
Rename PEid to helper.bin, and have it in the same directory as the script.

[totoymola]

I'm sorry guys. I wasn't clear on my earlier post. I was talking about the very first version of USSF (by Zoster). That doesn't work for the latest version of PEiD. I haven't seen Nologic's update when I posted that.

[Martin Zugec]

Hmmm, now it looks I got a problem - downloaded PEid, extracted peid.exe, renamed to Helper.bin, compiled script2exe, copied to same location.

But when I inserted name of the file, I still received message Sorry, unknown installer

[ZoSTeR]

Updated the first post with a quick fix

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I made an installer for this wonderfull tool.

Just use the /VERYSILENT switch for silent install.

PEID 9.3 is included.

Link deleted see post below.
