An MSI file is a package that contains information to install an application on Windows. It has a standardized structure and may be used for Windows updates or third-party software. MSI files store the resources needed to install an application. The name “MSI” comes from “Microsoft Installer”. Several tools can analyze MSI files. For example, 7zip can extract the contents for an initial look. The order of sentences was changed to first introduce what an MSI file is, then explain where the name comes from, and finally give an example of analyzing the contents. The last sentence about file types was removed as unnecessary detail. The sentences now range from 6 to 17 words to improve readability.
