    Nice so
    Finally I extracted the msi file and I extracted Ableton 10s installer
    Does anybody know if the "System64" folder is needed when I did the extraction it extracted "Ableton" folder and "System64" folder
    Basically I deleted the "System64" fodler and run Ableton started without any issues
    I hope it will keep on workin
    Thanks so much for this method
    From taking 1.90 GB the original Ableton 10.1.41 installer I managed to compress into a 1.2 GB rar for storing Ableton extracted for future use.

    Finally it worked

    The only way I could do it is:

    1. I got the things extracted
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer.exe
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer Data 1.cab
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer Data 2.cab
    2. NOW very important to run UniExtract with UniExtractUpdater.exe and thats it nobody told me this I was running the plain UniExtract.exe
    3. So UniExtract did a 9 MB Setup.msi
    4. Put that 9 MB Setup.msi to your location where these are:
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer.exe
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer Data 1.cab
    Ableton Live 11 Suite Installer Data 2.cab
    5. Run lessMSI drag the 9 MB Setup.msi to it and hit Extract
    DONE

    Lets GOOOOO

    you can load into Live and then search for the unpacked folder. but without Live there is no way. Its to special the format Ableton came up with.

    Hm, I usually unpack the installer using a simple command for msiexec (also created a context menu entry for this).

    If you want that entry as well, I created a little installer to add it with an option to elevate the process.
    MSI_Extract-r4e.7z

    After extraction I additionally delete all the manuals besides the english one (saves about 530MB),
    write an inno script to create a little Setup file that runs the msi installer as admin
    and then I put everything into an iso image and compress it using 7z to 1,8GB.

    To save even more space, you can add "Ableton Live 11 Suite.exe" directly into the installer folders
    and replace the ableton updater with a dummy or simply delete it.

    The Image structure then looks like this:
