Legacy Installation (Remote Servers Only - Not Recommended)
Warning
Deprecated: The MSI-based installation method is legacy and intended only for remote server installations where the Portal-based approach cannot be used. This method is not recommended for new deployments and will be retired in future versions.
Important

When to Use MSI Installation
Use this method only if:
