Hi @bacharbader​ ,

With FME 2021.0 and newer, we updated our installers to be a *.exe file.

When you download the exe from the file, it will extract the contents to a temporary file and inside there is the msi file.

To get the latest download, please see the downloads page.

If you'd like more detailed information about the change to the exe installer, see this Expert Note from the team.

Unfortunately, .msi files are limited to 2GB and the FME Desktop installer was becoming larger than 2GB. So we’ve had to move the installer to an exe file.
