Hi,

I installed Elasticsearch 7 with an msi installer last year and now that I need to install it again there's no msi installer on the newer versions.

Will there not be msi installers from now on?

And if that is the case, how will I update my old msi installation?

The Windows MSI installer package is no longer available.

Ok. Is there a guide as to how to upgrade old MSI installations? That was so easy that the manual installation process seems super complicated in comparison.

The MSI would be so customer-friendly. But I guess you dont care about them

I have opened a new question on how to upgrade. Seems like no one is finding this one anymore.
