MSQ: Short for MSI Squirrel, is a special version of Squirrel.Windows to work with electron-wix-msi
MSQ is a set of tools to accomplish auto-updating with MSI used by Electron Apps. MSQ is specifically made for V3 of https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-wix-msi
What Do We Want?
For the longest time MSI was the gold standard in packaging and installing Windows applications. That doesn't mean that they cant be auto-updated. The only functionality from the original Windows.Squirrel carried over is the updating process. Packaging and managing of shortcuts is of course done MSI.
- Auto-Updating MSQ provides auto-updating for Apps packaged with electron-wix-msi V3
- Compatibility App updates packaged with Windows.Squirrel can be updated by MSQ
