"Ohisashiburi" (お久しぶり) is the Japanese word used to greet someone we haven't met for quite a long time. I have not posted any blogs for almost 2years! So it's really "Ohisashiburi" to all of you :). Well, I was sort of busy at work, at home and with some extra-curricular & charity works :). Anyways, I have several topics and tools which I would like to share this coming few days. Here are some of them:
- Synfo - dumps systeminfo, installed services info and installed products/patches info of a system into an XML file. Also provide compare feature for differencing between 2 synfo xml files.
- mstSIS - dumps the Summary Information Stream of an MST file.
- msidump - dumps all MSI tables including the _TransformView tables of the embedded MSTs into an XML file. Using the dumped xml files, the tool can also generate the diff (added, changed and removed objects).
- ResourceExporter (enumres.exe) - dumps the string and messagetable resource texts from Win32 native modules (DLL, EXE or VRS) and string resources from .Net assemblies. Also extracts and converts ADM, IDT, CXMI and Citrix XML resource files into enumres XML file format.
- ResourceCompare (rescmp.exe) - Compares the enumres XML files: cross-build or cross-language and reports possible resource related issues - duplicate IDs, unlocalized strings, newly-added/modified/deleted resource entries.
Please check them again soon...
