The application is merely a command-line utility and needs to be launched through the Command Prompt. An elevated instance is not necessarily required to make it work properly. Just to save time and effort, it's best to have the target MSI file placed inside the application's source folder.

In terms of file requirements, only the MSI needs to be provided and mentioned in the code, but some switches also need to be used, depending on the depth and type of information to extract. Product name and product versions can be revealed using /n and /v, respectively.

There's also the possibility to gather all there is to know about the installer, build components, error handling, manufacturer, and more, with the /a switch. The syntax must be used with a switch and is in the form of /a *.msi, where /a can be replaced with either /n or /v.
