Description

IT administrators are asking for MSI files to install more efficiently in schools. I think we should make one.

Details

From a freshdesk ticket:
"I am a school ICT Engineer working in 6 schools in Manchester UK. Some of my schools would like to start using version 3.0 which is great of course. But (and this is a rather big "but"), there is no way of rolling out the program using Group Policy on Windows servers, due to no .msi version available at this time.

This makes it very time consuming for network administrators such as myself and my colleagues to install it on school computers."

Operating System
