Hi there
I have a question for you and excuse me if it sounds a bit daft. I was
wondering , when deploying install files to users in published form, does
the file have to be an MSI file? If so does anyone know what is the best way
of converting exe files to MSI so they can be deployed? Would really
appreciate any assistance on this please if you can.

Best wishes
Nick

Hello,

You can use a third-party tool named Wise for Windows Installer to build a
MSI package.

You can download Wise for Windows Installer Evaluations edition from the
following link:

Thank You.
