Description
The Windows MSI backend currently produces a single MSI for each application published.
In some situations, it may be desirable to publish a *single* MSI for a project that contains multiple apps.
There should be an alternate platform backend for Windows that allows for the production of a single project MSI.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing Windows MSI backend and understanding how it publishes one MSI per application. Define the alternate platform backend's project-level entry point and determine how a project containing multiple apps should be represented. Done means producing one MSI for the whole project while preserving the existing application publication behavior.
