web installer

About this tag
The web installer tag covers discussions about lightweight installation packages that download components on demand, including Microsoft's .NET Framework web installer, the Siemens Web Installer affected by a DLL hijacking vulnerability (CVE-2025-30033), and Microsoft's evolving web-based installer for Win32 packages. Topics include automation benefits for developers and IT pros, security risks such as arbitrary code execution during installation, and the role of web installers in scenarios where offline installers are impractical. The tag also touches on the Microsoft Store's shift toward a more capable web installer that can auto-launch after installation, reflecting broader changes in app distribution and management on Windows.
