Identify Version from Setup

Here is a simple pseudo code of my PHP tool which identify the version and the language of a Messenger setup:

**MSI file**

Language & Version: Read `ProductLanguage` and `ProductVersion` from the MSI file by querying its internal database: `SELECT Value FROM Property WHERE Property = %` (Windows users can use this tool: http://windowsitpro.com/systems-management/get-information-about-msi-files-just-few-clicks)

**MSP file**

**You have a patch and not a full version.**
 - Language: `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > VarFileInfo > Translation` **of the setup file (not the msp file)**
 - Version: Find the VS_VERSION_INFO (by hand?) struct, parse it and use `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > StringFileInfo > FileVersion`

**EXE file - First**

Try to extract file `msmsgs.exe` from your setup file using WinRAR.

If it works:
 - Version: `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > StringFileInfo > FileVersion`.
 - Language: Extract `msgslang.dll` and use language from the `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > VarFileInfo > Translation` (first 2 bytes are the language code).

**EXE file  - Second**

Try to extract file `MsnMsgs.msi` from your setup file using WinRAR.

If if works:
 - Language & Version: Read `ProductLanguage` and `ProductVersion` from the MSI file by querying its internal database: `SELECT Value FROM Property WHERE Property = %`

**EXE file  - Third**

Try to extract file `MsnMsgs.msp` from your setup file using WinRAR.

If it works: **You have a patch and not a full version.**
 - Language: `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > VarFileInfo > Translation` **of the setup file (not the msp file)**
 - Version: Find the VS_VERSION_INFO (by hand?) struct and use `VS_VERSION_INFO struct > StringFileInfo > FileVersion`

-- Work in progress --

**EXE file - Fourth**

Check presence of resource `BOOTSTRAPPAYLOAD > MANIFEST.XML` and extract it.

If it works:
**You have a Live installer which may be a web installer (without anything in it) or an offline installer which may contains lot of programs of the Windows Live suite (including or not Messenger).**
 - Check first 4 bytes: if they are `MSCF`, the XML config file is in a CAB file. Use `CabArc.exe` to extract the XML config file. Else, you probably already have a XML file.
 - Open XML file.
 - Jump to `XML file - First`

**EXE file - Fifth**

Check presence of resource `CATALOG > DEFAULT` and extract it.

If it works:
**You have a Live installer which may be a web installer (without anything in it) or an offline installer which may contains lot of programs of ther Windows Live suite (including or not Messenger).**
 - Check first 4 bytes: if they are `MSCF`, the XML config file is in a CAB file. Use `CabArc.exe` to extract the XML config file. Else, you probably already have a XML file.
 - Open XML file.
 - Jump to `XML file - First`

**XML file - First**

 - Search for packages with `id` starting with `Messenger` (xpath: `/catalog/package[starts-with(@id, "Messenger")]`). 
 - Filter the ones with the `source` property starting with `x-wlspkg://`
  - If you are left with one result with a `language` property set to a language code, it means the Messenger setup includes its language pack.
  - If you have 2 results, one with `language` set to `neutral` and one with `language` set to one language code, it means the Messenger setup and its language pack are in the ressource of the setup file: you need to extract both.
 - If present, `xsFileName` is the filename of the file containing the extracted resource data. It can be a 7z file which needs to be uncompressed to give you another CAB file containing the final setup file. If absent, you should assume the file is a CAB file containing an msi file (just check the `engine` property).

**XML file - Second**

 - Search for a package with `id="Messenger"` (xpath: `/Products/Product[@id="{A26D7C8B-875D-48E2-BED1-7168268D022A}"]`). If `SourceLocation` starts with `resource:`, the Messenger setup includes its language pack and is in the ressource of the setup file. If not, Messenger setup is not included. `xsFileName` is the filename of the Messenger setup.

**EXE file - Sixth**

Default to the data contained in the `VS_VERSION_INFO struct` of the setup file.
