An EXE file can be an installer, a program, or just code. An MSI file is a Microsoft Installer file use to install a program using the Windows Installer.

But if you package MSI files in your software, you can use basic VBScript to create a "shell" object that runs Windows commands, including executing these MSI files.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a (free) program to allow me to wrap a setup exe file (Windows Desktop Search Enterprise) into an MSI file for GPO deployment (Computer policy)?
