CLI for POIFS

[Jarl Friis]

Hi.

As explained on http://poi.apache.org/components/poifs/index.html
POIFS is a library to handle POIFS files just like a zip-container.

I would like to simply unpack an MSI file. As I understand it MSI
files are also just POIFS files.

Is there a command line tool to just unpack any OLE2, i.e. POIFS file?

Hi,

I don't think there is one, although it would probably be not hard to write
one.

Any takers?

Dominik.

Please also have a look at

This is a bit out-dated, but probably a good starting point.
