Cons:

Q: Is an EXE file safer than an MSI? A: Both can carry malware. However, EXE files are more likely to be flagged by antivirus software if they are unsigned. If you are a developer, you should digitally sign your new EXE file.

Q: Will converting to EXE change the software? A: No. The software inside remains exactly the same. You are simply changing the "container" or the method used to launch the installation process.

Q: Can I extract an MSI file without converting it? A: Yes. You can use a tool like LessMSIérables or 7-Zip to right-click an MSI file and extract its contents to a folder. This is useful if you just need a file inside the installer.
