About DIST files
DIST files are a type of file used by Microsoft Windows Installer, a software installation and configuration service. They are used to store information about software installations, such as the files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need to be created, and the shortcuts that need to be created. DIST files are not intended to be opened or edited directly, and they cannot be opened with a text editor.
DIST files can be converted to other file formats such as MSI, MST, and EXE using software such as various tools and appropriate programs. It is important to note that the conversion process can be difficult and time-consuming, as the files are often large and complex. Additionally, the conversion process may not always be successful, as there may be compatibility issues between the versions of Windows Installer used to create the DIST file and the software used to convert it.
Due to the complexity of the conversion process and the potential for compatibility issues, it is recommended to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert DIST files. This website offers a fast and reliable conversion process, and it does not require any technical knowledge.
The DIST Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best DIST converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
