error after extract *.exe to msi

hi guys

i`ve extraced a *.exe to a *.msi ( i have extraced it this way> start installer and copy the msi from %temp% to a new location) in the %temp% i found the *.msi and a few *.ini files.

So when i try to install the Msi file , the installer say that one *.dll could not be registered. so when i try to install the *.exe it works.

why does the extraced msi do not work ??

please help me , thanks martin

Normally, it's due to a missing dependency which, presumably, the EXE installs before running the MSI.

Use ProcMon. It will show you what's happening.

Then, with respect, you're not using it correctly. I suspect you have one too many processes or paths excluded from its view.

the msi register the dll correctly but the msi only say that the dll could not be registered. so the application work, but when i try the deploy the software unattand with our deployment tool , the msi will do a rollback because of the "wrong" errormessage.

so back to roots > i will try the procmon again

regards martin
