Does anyone know a good program to convert a software installation from a .exe to a .msi? That is also straight forward and easy to use. Preferably free or cheap. Thanks

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

Try to extract it. It (the msi file) may be in the .exe already.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Yes, some EXE's do contain MSI's...

I've been looking for such a program a for a while and all I've found is complicated, multi-step, free programs or very expensive easier programs.

I take it you want to push out programs through group policy?
