It kind of puts a harmful pretense of wanting to post anything productive or constructive to a cohort that, in nature, should be positive for growth.
If you see an uptick in a request for something, compile some supporting research (which you did eventually) when responding to a request, and try not to immediately demean/negatively challenge someone directly in a communal format. Respectfully, I’ll try not to make this personal, but I would like to provide some constructive criticism if you’d be welcome. Much love on this as a former developer myself as well. It also would not invalidate the fingerprint provided (GPG Finger Print) due to the lack of file manipulation/conversion needed to make it easier to manage the product through the reasons mentioned above by BTW, the Data Security professional in me sincerely thanks you for providing the validation keys on such a highly requested tool in the IT/DevOps sector. To directly answer your question, providing an MSI puts less overhead on IT professionals and Orgs with teams using the product to make it easier to digest and distribute in mass. I hope this explains why IT-professionals ask for As has pointed out, providing an MSI allows endpoint management to be streamlined and automated with efficiencies for distributing requested software for DevOps teams and the like. With a MSI file we can easy do a silent install, we can repair the software using built in MSI solutions, uninstall silently, version controll, have a log file created and modify settings like disable automatic updates using a Transform file (as it’s something organisations do not want to have enabled as users usually do not have admin access to the local computer and therefor can’t install any updates to the program).Ī MSI-file can also easily be converted to a file format compatible with Intune distribution (Microsoft offeres free software for converting). The best solution is off cause if a MSI-file is offered from the creator. The main reason a MSI file is asked for is that they are used when distributing software using a deployment solutions in an organisation, most commonly Microsoft SCCM or deploying software using ActiveDirectory.įor example, I repackage software that do not offer a MSI file so that I can distribut them within my organisation by running the installer and a repackage software that analyse what changes the installer makes to the system and then compile those changes to a MSI-file.
