Pros of Using the MSI Installer
Ease of Use:
The MSI installer provides a straightforward and guided installation process, ensuring all necessary configurations are handled automatically.
System-wide Installation:
Installs Sheetize into the system’s Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or another central location, making it accessible across multiple projects on the same system.
Automated Updates:
Updates are seamless when using a new MSI file, as the installer typically manages updates efficiently.

Cons of Using the MSI Installer
Limited Flexibility:
The system-wide installation might not suit projects requiring custom or localized configurations.
Potential Overhead:
Installing to the GAC can add complexity, particularly if multiple versions of Sheetize are needed for different projects.
Manual Removal:
Uninstalling requires the MSI uninstaller, which might leave residual files or configurations behind if not thoroughly managed.
Version Conflicts:
System-wide installations can lead to conflicts if projects need different versions of Sheetize. Resolving such conflicts may require additional configuration.
