AI Thread Summary
An .MSI file is a Windows installer package, which cannot be directly opened on a Mac operating system. Users may encounter this issue if they mistakenly download the Windows version of a software package instead of the Mac version. To handle .MSI files on a Mac, one option is to use 7-zip, which can extract files from .MSI packages. An unofficial version of 7-zip is available for Mac users, allowing them to access the contents of .MSI files.

7-zip can extract from MSI files on Windows. There is an "unofiicial" Mac version here:

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
