Sorry if my question has been answered before but i made a search and i couldn't find it!
how to transform the EXE acdsee file to MSI

[SiMoNsAyS]

simply open the exe archive with winrar and take a look at the contents, probably you'll find the .msi there.

if not, execute the installation and look at your temp folders, .msi will be extracted there.

I just made a search for it after installing it but the strange in it, it's smaller than the original exe file which was 19mg and the msi is now 15mg? any comment?

Use admin install /a

@Nakkoush, it is normal that smaller size on the msi archive. usually setups also include (appart from the .msi) the newest version of msiexec.

nowarez has pointed a good thing, you can try to create an admin install point running "msiexec /a path\msifile.msi". it will increase the size, but you can repack it again on a self-extracting archive so the new setup is even smaller and will also include your serial.
