EXE to MSI Wrapper
Upload a Windows .exe and download it wrapped in a minimal MSI installer package.
⚠ Unlike most tools on this site, this one uploads your file to the server briefly to build the MSI (deleted immediately after). Max 15MB, 8 conversions/hour.
How to use this tool
Choose your .exe file and click "Wrap in MSI & Download". The resulting .msi installs your program under Program Files when run.
About this tool
Built with wixl, part of the open-source msitools project — the same tooling category used by professional installer-packaging workflows. This produces a genuine, valid MSI database file (verified with Windows Installer inspection tools before publishing), not a renamed .exe.
Your file is processed server-side (required for valid MSI construction) and deleted immediately after your download completes. Never stored, never shared.
Frequently asked questions
Does this repackage or modify the EXE itself?
No. Your .exe is embedded unmodified inside an MSI installer that places it under Program Files when run — a wrapper, not a true format conversion or a silent-install repackage. It does not add silent-launch logic, registry keys, or shortcuts.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
Yes, briefly — unlike most tools on this site, MSI files require server-side tooling to build correctly, so this one is not client-side only. The uploaded file and generated MSI are deleted from the server immediately after your download completes.
Is there a size or rate limit?
Yes: files up to 15MB, and a shared limit of 8 conversions per hour per visitor, to keep this free tool available for everyone on modest server hardware.
