If you visit the MSI SDK page, there is no “What’s New” section beyond version 5 which was released with Windows 7, so obviously there is nothing new in Windows Installer for Windows 8, right? Nothing new for .MSI packages that is. It has recently come to light in our labs that Windows Installer is secretly doing double duty to process the new Appx packages which are responsible for installing Windows 8 Metro WinRT Store Apps. Why do I say “secretly”?
