Steps to Install .msi files in Linux

MSI files are the popular Microsoft Installer Files used in Windows today to execute and install a program. These files do the same work as other exe files in Windows.
Msi files are mostly setups of applications and Windows can install these files but what if you want to install these files in Ubuntu or Linux?
Wine is a great way to install Windows Installer files in Linux but the only problem with this is that it normally opens exe files only. So here is how to install msi file with Wine in Linux.
Install msi file in Linux
• Open the terminal
• Type in the following command
msiexec /i installer.msi
where installer.msi is the name of your msi file.
That’s it msi file will be opened now in Linux.

Create an ISO Image from a CD/DVD

One big advantage of using ISO image file for CD/DVD is, the image file contains all files/folders and the structure of the CD/DVD, including the hidden sectors, for example, the boot sectors. Some CD/DVD are "bootable", which means you can use the CD/DVD to startup your pc and run some installations or utility. With this kind of CD/DVD, when you view the contents in Windows, you won't see the bootable portion. And when you make a copy of the CD/DVD using the normal method for files, the bootable sectors will NOT be included. However, the Image method will take care of that.

The general way to make copy of a CD/DVD with hidden contents (i.e. boot sectors) is:

(1) Create an ISO image of the CD and store it in local hard drive, then
(2) Burn the image back to a blank CD/DVD.

The steps of burning an ISO image to CD/DVD are different depending on which tool you use. However, the following key points should be the same:

1. Insert the CD/DVD which you want to create the image from.
2. Open the burning tool.
3. Select the save ISO/image option.
4. Browse to the destination location to save the ISO/image file.
5. Execute the image capture.
