Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the TODO comments in src/chocolatey/infrastructure.app/domain/installers/MsiInstaller.cs and MsiPatchInstaller.cs. Review how each installer currently invokes msiexec.exe, then update both paths to be fully qualified and verify that both installers use the qualified executable path.
