What is Microsoft Installer? Print E-mail

We use the Microsoft Installer Package (MSI) to distribute our software. This allows for smaller downloads and less bandwidth usage. For example WinGraphic is 7.5MB normally, but when using the MSI package, it is only 4MB.

Note: Windows installer is not needed for Windows XP. Windows XP already comes with it built in.

If one of our software applications does not install, download the MSI setup program then run our software application again. You will only need to install the MSI setup program once. Since software developers are moving to this newer format, it may help for future software downloads.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
