Microsoft Edge vs Operating Systems

Question

Hello,

I noticed that Microsoft Edge 98.0.1108.56 has different links for the download against Operating System.
I downloaded several files they are 1,773 KB and look similar...
What is difference between them?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

and from this link
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download
there are two files to be downloaded but seems independent from the Operating Systems...
MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi
MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab

It is confusing!!!

Thanks,
Dom

Hi @Duchemin, Dominique ,

What is difference between them?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

The download file(MicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe) mentioned in the above section is actually an update setup for Microsoft Edge, not installation package for Edge. I tried downloading the this update setup for the window 11 version in Window 10, and execute this successfully. So I think they are exactly the same.

there are two files to be downloaded but seems independent from the Operating Systems...
MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi
MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab

The msi type file mentioned in this section is actually the installation package of Microsoft Edge. The cab type file is that when you need to manage policies in Edge, you need to download and set it correctly. But if you don't need to manage Edge policies, I think you can ignore this file. For more details, you could refer to this doc: Configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows.

Best regards,
Xudong Peng
