Which of the following file types can Microsoft servers package for remote installation by default?

EXE files are general-purpose executables and are not natively supported by Group Policy Software Installation, which requires the structured MSI format to manage deployment lifecycle.

INI files are plain-text configuration files with no installation logic or package structure, and they cannot be processed by Windows remote deployment services as installation packages.

The .msi format is the native Windows Installer package format and is specifically required by Group Policy Software Installation (GPSI) for assigning or publishing software to domain-joined machines. MSI packages encapsulate installation logic, registry changes, and file manifests in a standardized structure that the Windows Installer service can process for installation, repair, and removal without user interaction. This standardized format is the foundation of software deployment in Active Directory environments and is what Microsoft server tools target by default.

DLL files are shared code libraries that applications link against at runtime and are not self-contained installation packages that remote deployment services can execute or manage directly.
