The MSI project is used to package all the code into an installer that can be used to install Accessibility Insights for Windows. This is not a required step. By default the MSI project is not built in either configuration.
Note: The MSI can only be built in the `Release` config.
- The MSI project requires WIX. WiX is a modern SDK that restore will automatically download from NuGet. Learn about the Wix toolset from http://wixtoolset.org/.
- To build the MSI locally, set build configuration to `Release`.
