Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I do if the MSI extraction fails on Windows 11 or Server editions?
- The extraction process using
setup.exe /amay fail on certain operating systems. Instead, try running the setup.exe and checking the %temp% folder for the MSI file during the setup process. - Why is the MSI file larger than expected?
- The MSI file extracted from the %temp% folder may be larger because it contains additional data not included when using the /a parameter. This is normal and should not affect the installation process.
- Do I need other files from the temp folder for distribution?
- Generally, the MSI file alone is sufficient for distribution. Other files in the temp folder are likely configuration parameters. The MSI should run fine without them.
