    2. Use transforms (MST) for environment-specific configuration rather than editing the MSI directly.
    3. Support silent installs: Provide and document command-line options (e.g., msiexec /i package.msi /qn /norestart).
    4. Sign packages: Digitally sign MSI files to avoid SmartScreen/Windows Defender warnings.
    5. Versioning policy: Follow Windows Installer versioning rules to ensure upgrades behave correctly (use ProductCode/ProductVersion/UpgradeCode appropriately).
    6. Log installations: Use verbose logging (msiexec /i package.msi /l*v install.log) when troubleshooting.
    7. Create and test patches: Use MSPs for small fixes instead of full MSI replacements if appropriate.
