    Text document called "msi" and "msp" randomly appearing in Downloads


    So I was checking my downloads folder and saw two random text documents, called "msi" and "msp", even though I have not downloaded them. Should I be concerned? I could not find anything online about them.

    :)

    Install MSI and MSP at once with PATCH MSI Property

    Hi,

    till today I thought, that it is possible to apply an upgrade and an update to a program at the same time using:

    msiexec.exe /i "c:\x\x.msi" PATCH="C:\x\x1.msp;C:\x\x2.msp"

    Today I got problems when running the program because some files and registrations where not updated.

    A test using

    msiexec.exe /i "c:\x\x.msi"

    and then

    msiexe /update "C:\x\x1.msp;C:\x\x2.msp"

    worked fine all files have been copied and all registrations were made.

    Is this a bug or is the option using the MSI Patch Property not really supported?

    PATCH property - Win32 apps

    Installer folder cleanup. Clean msp & msi patches marked as superseded

    Thanks. *Thumbs

    In that article it states to use MsiZapU.exe G

    I actually used MsiZap. exe G

    That's the same command used by another utility that I have installed.

    Delete msi ans msp files on windows 10

    Hi everybody

    My computer is full of msi and msp files.

    How can I delete these files and still have a computer running well ?

    I don't want to change my PC.

    What is the solution ? I guess there is one, isn't it ?
