Everything v1.5 Build 1333a isn't indexing any .msi content, including Product Name, Version, Product Version, or Description. I have tried the following:
1. Forced a rebuild using the Force Rebuild option.
2. Exited Everything, then deleted the Everything-1.5a.db file, then restarted the indexing. Still no bueno.

There are two "Product Version".
One, under Everything Properties.
One, under Windows Property System.
The former returns results, the latter does not.

Re: Everything v1.5 Build 1333a isn't indexing any .msi content
Everything supports the following properties for .msi files:
Product Name
Product Version
Company
File Signature
The file signature for .msi files is:
application/x-ole-storage
Was this working in previous builds?
Everything uses the system msi.dll to read properties from .msi files.
Are some files showing properties, or none at all?
If you have a few that are not showing properties, could you please send one to support@voidtools.com
(or please let me know the download link)
Are you using any exclude filters / include only filters for property indexing?

Re: Everything v1.5 Build 1333a isn't indexing any .msi content
Are you using content indexing to retrieve msi properties?
It is unlikely that content indexing will find these properties as an msi file is a database (with instructioins for Windows Installer to execute)
Use Property indexing instead (Options => Indexes => Properties).
After pushing the Add button, you can add the properties you are after.
For example, Product Version, Product Name and Company are under Everything properties \ application/x-ole-storage.
Most other msi properties are under Everything properties \ Document
Or use the Search bar at the top.
(version 1232a here; maybe 1233a behaves different?)
@therube: missed your post; wouldn't reply otherwise.
EDIT: and missed @voids post too!

@void:
Just confirmed that Everything v1.5 Build 1332a *DOES* index .msi file properties.

Nevermind, folks, something got corrupted on my computer. Everything v1.5 Build 1333a is indexing .msi file properties now. Weird. Thanks for the help everyone!
