The GNOME wiki describes it as a set of programs based on libmsi, a portable library for reading and writing MSI files; libmsi itself is described there as a port of a subset of Wine's Windows Installer implementation. ### Projektgeschichte The package's practical value is cross-platform packaging. Its small tools mirror the structure of MSI work: msiinfo inspects packages, msiextract extracts files, msidump dumps tables and streams, msidiff compares packages, and msibuild creates packages at a lower level. The suite also includes wixl, a WiX-like XML-to-MSI builder, and wixl-heat for generating XML fragments from file trees. ### Wie es verwendet wird In package-manager terms, msitools occupies the Unix side of Windows installer workflows: it lets Linux and macOS build systems examine or produce MSI artifacts without installing Microsoft's toolchain. Debian packages it as a Windows Installer manipulation tool and exposes related libmsi and wixl packages, matching the upstream split between the library and command-line tools. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
