MSI Wrapper refers to tools that convert non-MSI installers (EXE, scripts, etc.) into standardized MSI packages for streamlined enterprise deployment via systems like SCCM, Intune, or Group Policy.
Key Features/Capabilities:
- Repackaging: Transforms EXE, ZIP, or script-based setups into Windows Installer (.msi) format.
- Silent Installation: Enables unattended deployments with parameters (/qn).
- Basic Customization: Adds product metadata, shortcuts, registry keys, or file associations.
- Compatibility: Ensures installer compliance with enterprise management tools (SCCM/WSUS).
Use Cases:
- IT admins needing to deploy legacy or non-MSI software across corporate networks.
- Standardizing third-party apps lacking native MSI support.
