create exe or msi?

Installing seems to work better if I execute the exe file instead of the msi file directly. Is there a way to combine both into one? Otherwise, do both the exe and msi files need to be downloaded by the user?

Re: create exe or msi?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Please note that the EXE is just a bootstrapper over the MSI if you use the "EXE setup (resources inside)" option from the "Builds" page.

That means that the EXE contains the MSI inside of it.
