How to manually extract self-extracting archives

This applies to certain .exe .msu .msp and .msi files and is taken from the following website (http://www.windowswiki.info/2009/02/19/how-to-extract-msumspmsiexe-files-on-the-command-line/)

How to extract msu/msp/msi/exe files on the command line

I find these commands quite helpful — maybe you know them already — if not, here you go:

Microsoft Hotfix Installer (.exe)

setup.exe /t:C:\extracted_files\ /c

Microsoft Update Standalone Package (.msu)

expand -F:* update.msu C:\extracted_files
cd extracted_files
expand -F:* update.cab C:\extracted_files

Microsoft Patch File (.msp)

msix patch.msp /out C:\extracted_files
msix.zip

Windows Installer Package (.msi)

msiexec /a setup.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\extracted_files
