Make it possible to generate .msi installers #29
Comments
Security is going to be exactly the same no matter what. At the end of the day, the app that gets installed is an unsigned executable file. |
Fair. |
Ugh! PPPDUD, why do you keep pressing "Comment" instead of "Close with comment"! |
but let's keep this open because there are probably other reasons why an MSI installer might be preferred |
Oh, good idea. Now, let's get back on topic. |
They are usually more trustable than .exe files for the purpose of installing things, and more people would feel safe if they were installing from a .msi rather than from an exe.
.msi Files are handled by Windows, while .exe files rely on themselves for installing things, and therefore, assuming that Windows hasn't been hacked, it is much closer to impossible that the installer itself could cause damage. Additionally, Windows automatically keeps a list of files it just installed, so that emergency uninstallation is easier.
