Reading windows installer file properties

[netplay]

Hi There,

 

I have a windows MSI file. It has a database file which you can read database by using tools such as Orca (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905)

 

Is it possible to access these values in php. I am implementing an update server. It would be great if I could retrieve a version string directly from the Setup file using PHP.

 

Besides, any details on how I can get version numbers from a windows setup file in PHP would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Alec
