Hey everyone! I'm excited to share a small web app I built that allows you to view and extract the contents of Windows MSI installers directly in your browser. It's essentially a web-based "lessmsi" powered by Pyodide. You can try it out at: https://pymsi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/msi_viewer.html My motivation for building this was from part of my day job -- I often get Windows MSI installers and need to extract files while preserving the relative directory structure and filenames, as they would appear after a full installation. The existing tools I found were good…

Mido makes downloading the latest release of Windows from official Microsoft servers a breeze so you can quickly get your VMs (or even physical machines) up & running in no time! It aims to automate these Microsoft download pages (which it does by interacting with Microsoft's proprietary downloading API): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 It's all written very cleanly in pure POSIX sh and curl, so it will run anywhere!

Hi everyone, I appreciate that HN is probably not my target audience but I just recently launched my own video training course on Windows 10 for beginners and non-techies and would love to get some brutally-honest but constructive feedback from the HN community (e.g. are the course videos too long, too boring, too techie, too pointless etc?). https://www.WindowsKnowHow.com There are around 10 sample videos available for free on the homepage, but you can also sign up for a free 7-day trial (no credit card required) and gain access to the entire course (60 videos) by signing up here:…

I'm a lead contributor to the Windows command-line installer, Scoop. Previously, Scoop only worked with Powershell 3+, but due to the silly number of PCs running basically stock versions of Windows 7 (or earlier) with Powershell 2 available, I saw the opportunity to bring Scoop to these machines. On a personal note, I'm a student at the University of Newcastle, Australia that has many PCs as described above. You don't have admin access (for obvious reasons) and you can't install anything. Downloading and using portable apps is possible but painful when the list of things to install gets big.…

I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb). tinykv focuses on simplicity: JSON-based, serde-powered, with optional TTL. Perfect for CLI tools, game saves, config storage. Would appreciate any feedback from the HN community!
