Open MSM File
MSM extension files can be used with a variety of applications and formats, some of them below:
Windows Installer
In this section, the MSM file is a Database that contains the configuration and installation properties of a specific software installer, of a Windows merge module.
Visual Studio includes merge modules, in MSM files, for each Visual C++ component licensed for redistribution with an application.
There are separate versions of the merge modules for each target platform.
When a merge module is compiled into a Windows Installer setup file, it enables the deployment of Visual C++ Redistributable files on that specific platform.
The MSM file includes files, resources, registry entries, and configuration information, which is often found within an MSI file.
MSM files are also called 'merge package files', since they are usually part of an installer package.
For this reason, MSM files should not be opened manually.
Multisim Circuit Design
In this second case, the MSM file is a circuit design created by Multisim, a Simulation Program Integrated Circuit Environment (SPICE), used to teach electronics theory and design and circuit prototyping.
More about Multisim
Multisim is industry-standard SPICE simulation and circuit design software for analog, digital, and power electronics in education and research.
Multisim integrates industry-standard SPICE simulation with an interactive schematic environment to instantly visualize and analyze the behavior of electronic circuits.
Multisim has an intuitive interface that helps teachers reinforce circuit theory and improve theory across the engineering curriculum.
It is also used by Researchers and designers to reduce PCB prototype iterations and save development costs by adding powerful circuit simulation and design flow analysis.
The MSM file contains a layout for an electrical circuit board, including location diodes, transistors, indicators, and power components.
The MSM file is used by the 2001 version of Multisim.
Multisim is characterized by renewing the use of the different extensions as new versions come out.
For example, the Multisim 7 version uses the MS7 file extension.
Software to open and work with a MSM file
Given these two possible applications for an MSM file, you must make sure of the type of format your file has, and then choose one of the following:
