Background
Current MSI installer template required another step to get the .MSI file onto the target. This step allows the user to choose a package instead.
Results
Allows users to simplify the deployment by choosing an MSI package variable to install.
Before
Users had to first get the MSI on the filesystem and hardcode the location in the template.
After
Users can now choose a package and do the installation that way.
