I need to deploy "ABC.msi" package in Azure web app server but not able to Deploy and not getting detail information in Azure documents as well.

I tried to deploy using "d:/windows/system32>msiexec.exe -i ABCSetup.msi" but it throwing the Access Denied error

I left with no option to resolve this error/deployment issue.

Please help me out on this.

Thanks

    Hi @Chethan Venkat ,

    You can't deploy MSI's to Azure. That would involve executing and having the permissions to install the package. Furthermore, Static Web Apps (you tagged it as such), can only accept static code deployments of specific runtimes. Only HTML, JavaScript frameworks, CSS, and images are supported; see What you can do with Static Web Apps. For general App Service, for which Static Web Apps are based, run on a Sandbox environment which restricts access to underlying components.

    If you're packaging your web application inside an MSI, there are many different ways to deploy your code; from a Zip, FTP, through CI/CD or GitHub actions; just to name a few.
