Jun 16, 2023 at 18:57 comment added music2myear HALP, my MSI gaming laptop is now a Windows Installer!!?! It's de-corporealized from my desk and I just see a disembodied "1063" floating over my desk!!! *sorry, I couldn't help it when I saw that the "msi" tag was rolled (rightly) into the "windows-installer" tag.

Sep 21, 2014 at 5:09 comment added gparyani @RobinHood From what I can see, it's misused by many people for the company. Not everyone sees the tag wikis. This is why I hate double-meaning tags.
Sep 21, 2014 at 1:43 comment added Robin Hood msi isn't a company tag. There is a company called msi, but in this case the tag description clarifies it's discussing the msi package type used on Windows (much like exe).

added 23 characters in body
Sep 17, 2014 at 14:44 comment added gparyani I think we should rename msi into windows-installer-package. It is used for two different meanings: the installer package files (the clearly defined meaning), and the company (the frequently-misunderstood meaning). But first, we've got to remove the tag from questions that use the latter meaning.

Sep 1, 2014 at 20:07 comment added gparyani @Braiam The tags first need to be removed before they can be blacklisted.
