Steps to reproduce
I just downloaded OpenSSH-Win32-v9.5.0.0.msi from this github project.
Expected behavior
According to the [instructions](/wiki/Install-Win32-OpenSSH) it should install a script ìnstall-sshd.ps1`.
Actual behavior
When installing OpenSSH with this MSI, it does not install the script install-sshd.ps1.
I downloaded OpenSSH-Win32.zip from the same place / version, and it contained the missing script. Copying it to `C:\Program Files\OpenSSH` allowed to do the installation as described in the [instructions](/wiki/Install-Win32-OpenSSH). But I think that is not how it is supposed to work in the first place. Can you add it to the MSI file please?

Research direction
Compare the files included by OpenSSH-Win32-v9.5.0.0.msi with OpenSSH-Win32.zip, focusing on install-sshd.ps1 and the Install-Win32-OpenSSH instructions. Trace the MSI packaging configuration and verify that installing the MSI places the script in C:\Program Files\OpenSSH so the documented installation works.
