The download is an Executable file (.EXE), which can be extracted with archiving software such as 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org). The extracted Windows Installer (.MSI) package and directories can be configured for deployment.
The MSI packages cleanly upgrade previous versions without invoking a transform. Fresh installs also perform cleanly without transforms. This was tested on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and Windows 10 Professional.
Keep up the good work!
