Support DVD-wide aggregation/listing of all files in all CABs on from a DVD
From https://code.google.com/p/lessmsi/issues/detail?id=9
Reported by [email protected], Mar 18, 2010 If I run a setup.exe wrapper on a DVD it presents all the content on the disk as one unified feature tree - yet on the disk itself there may be many MSIs that comprise this view. The Windows 7 SDK is exactly this way.
So when I know I need a single file out of the SDK, it would be great to see all files on the DVD in one view.
What steps will demonstrate the feature request?
- Download the Windows 7 SDK from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=71deb800-c591-4f97-a900-bea146e4fae1&displaylang=en
- Examine the package structure - the root install EXE is called setup.exe, but it spans everything on the disk.
- Under the "setup" folder there are many subfolders each containing an MSI with an external Cab.
It would be great if I could tell lessmsi to open all MSIs in a folder tree and present one consolidated view of the files. Would probably be necessary to have a column for "MSI" file.

I agree with the idea and will accept it but it is a relatively big effort so I can't commit to doing it soon.
