Windows Installer (msiexec.exe, previously known as Microsoft Installer, codename Darwin) is a software component and application programming interface (API) of Microsoft Windows used for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software.
Different OSes have different Windows Installer versions installed by default. See Released Versions of Windows Installer.
