Enterprise MSI Installer Framework for the TSuite Platform

This project aims to develop a robust, enterprise-grade Windows installer for the complete TSuite platform, using the MSI (Microsoft Installer) standard. The installer will support transactional rollback, backup of existing installations, and seamless upgrades between versions. It will be fully compatible with Windows Server 2022+ and Windows 11+.

The installer must deploy and configure all required TSuite components, including both third-party open-source services and more than 40 native .NET applications.

Included Third-Party Components


PostgreSQL
Elasticsearch
Filebeat
Keycloak
Kibana
MongoDB
mongosh
mongotools
RabbitMQ

These components require pre-configuration, service registration, security hardening, and environment-specific initialization.

Included TSuite .NET Service Applications

tsuite-workflow
tsuite-about
tsuite-assets
tsuite-callmescreen
tsuite-datacollector
tsuite-fleettracker-gateway

All these applications require:
Installation of binaries

Environment configuration (JSON, YAML, secrets, connection strings)
Dependency validation
Logging and health monitoring setup
Automatic backup of previous versions before upgrade
Full rollback if installation fails

Core Objectives
The MSI installation framework will provide:
Transaction-safe installation using MSI’s rollback engine
Standardized directory structure and service configuration
Digital signing for enterprise deployment
Seamless upgrades with version checks and migration steps
Automatic backup of configuration and data where applicable
Support for silent installs for DevOps/automation pipelines
Integration with enterprise deployment environments (GPO, Intune, SCCM)
