Hi, It is an exe because it is a bundle installer (it is installing multiple MSI files I assume). A bundle can't be an msi, it is because of the limitations of the msi format.
- The exact same problem happened to me when my Windows Installer service got broken. You should try re-registering it: msiexec -unregister msiexec -regserver - Another idea: internet connection or proxy problem. Although the installer is standalone, it still attempts to retrieve ProjectAggregator2.msi from the website. Simply download ProjectAggregator2.msi from the website an put it in the same folder as Wix36.exe.
