Description

Hi,

Recently I started having an issue with all msi files on my Windows 11 machine, so I can't install Keybase using the provied MSi file. I'm getting the following error on all MSIs:

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

I tried all types of articles to get this fixed but I was unable to, so I'm unfortunately forced to look for alternatives until I get my Windows reinstalled.

So, any way I can get an exe for this app instead of an MSI so I can actually install it please?

Thanks so much, best regards!
