Is it a possible to Load msi file to the memory and install it from memory? The client download the msi file from server. Firstly the client get the byte array. And then save it as a msi file. and then install it. But I always think it is a possible if client get the byte array and then install it . Don't need to save it in the local drive and install it? If yes, could you give me a C# sample?

Thanks, Ryan

Why? What is the use case to do this? – fk2 Jun 18 '15 at 10:08
Yes it is possible but why you want to execute from memory? If you have the whole downloaded file in memory you might think again in your design. Keeping a large file in memory just to execute it!? – Hamid Pourjam Jun 18 '15 at 10:10
Are you trying to update your program? – Hamid Pourjam Jun 18 '15 at 10:11
