MSI stands for Microsoft Installer. These files are built by developers and consist of scripts that the Windows Installer service is able to read. This service, which is built into every copy of Windows, displays an installation prompt and performs the configuration and installation of program files. MSI files are ideal to use because they are smaller and more standardized than other installation files on Windows.
Instructions
1. Open the Start menu and click "Computer" to open the "Computer" display.
2. Double-click the drive or media that contains the MSI file. For example, if it is on your DVD drive, right-click it and then click "Explore" to open the DVD drive.
3. Double-click each subfolder within the drive until you locate the folder that has the MSI file. Double-click the file to automatically open the Microsoft Installer file on the computer.
4. Review any licenses or agreements the software wants you to accept, then click "Next."
5. Choose the components to install, as well as the directory, then click "Next." The process may differ slightly if the developer has chosen to allow additional customization options.
