MSI
Windows's native installer-package format — the .msi file consumed by the Windows Installer service.
Definition
MSI is the Windows Installer package format: a relational database describing files to copy, registry keys to write, services to register, and custom actions. Most enterprise Windows software ships as .msi for unattended deployment via Group Policy or Intune. The WiX Toolset is the standard open-source authoring tool for building MSI packages from XML.
