    I saw some stuff on the Microsoft webpage (developer area maybe?) about this before. But can't rememeber where.

    A program called "Orca" had to do with editing msi files. Try searching for this and you may end up in the right place.

    thanks had a look on msdn and for orca. but the only way to get that prog is to download the entire windows sdk (200mb my arse).

    you mean from like a setup.exe file?

    this should work msiexec.exe /a your.msi
    (you will need to specify the full path to your.msi)
