* Signed .exe works but has a cost.

* Unsigned .exe gets a security prompt to Run/Don't Run for the first time.

* MSI has an installation wizard.

* MSIX has a simple Install prompt like PWAs.

Are you saying I can distribute an unsigned MSI or MSIX without a SmartScreen warning? Are you sure about that? Others are saying the same thing, but I didn't think that was possible.

Can someone explain it you happen to know?
