Synopsis
MSI Unpacker, as the name suggests, does one thing- it unpacks MSI (Windows Installer) files but it does it well- I can't remember a single MSI file it failed to extract.

License
MSI Unpacker versions 1.3.0 and 1.5.0 are freeware while MSI Unpacker version 1.4.1 says that it is licensed under GNU General Public License but I don't know whether the source code has ever been published.
Portability
MSI Unpacker (versions 1.3.0 and 1.4.1) is portable and stealth- it saves no settings- just extract the archive and run MSI_Unpacker.exe. MSI Unpacker version 1.5.0 comes in MSI installer- extract the installer and run MSI_Unpacker.exe.
Note
I recommend MSI Unpacker version 1.4.1, it works better than the latest one (1.5.0).
MSI Unpacker does not support drag&drop.
How to use MSI Unpacker- run MSI_Unpacker.exe, click Browse button to select a MSI file, click Save Location button and click Unpack button.
For convenience I always place the MSI files I want to extract on my desktop.
All I know about the developer of MSI Unpacker (from Readme.txt) is his name (Danilo Gergar) and his e-mail address. MSI Unpacker version 1.5.0 says:
