Why each option
CCMSetup.exe is the supported bootstrap executable for installing the Configuration Manager client via logon scripts or command-line methods.
CCMSetup.exe is the client installation bootstrapper that downloads all required installation source files from a management point or distribution point before invoking the actual client MSI. It is specifically designed for flexible deployment scenarios including logon scripts, supports command-line parameters for site assignment and properties, and handles prerequisite checks and retries automatically.
CCMSetup.msi does not exist as a valid Configuration Manager client installation file; the actual MSI component is Client.msi, not CCMSetup.msi.
Capinst.exe is not a Configuration Manager client installer - it is unrelated to SCCM client deployment and would not install the client software.
Client.msi is the core client installation package but is invoked by CCMSetup.exe internally; running it directly from a logon script bypasses the bootstrapper's file download, prerequisite handling, and site assignment logic.
