Instead of having to install some 3rd party program to extract (unpack) the contents of a MSI file, this tutorial will show you how to add Extract All to the context menu of MSI files in only the current user account to be able to extract all of the contents of a MSI file into a new folder at the same location of the MSI file in Vista and Windows 7.
