BizTalk Assessment Question: Best way for deploying

What type of file is used in Microsoft(R) BizTalk(R) Server 2006 to make application deployment and management easier by using the new application concept?

  • Batch files
  • .msi files
  • XML files
  • Microsoft Windows(R) Management Instrumentation (WMI) files
  • Flat files

MSI makes the most sense here. It allows for minipulation to allow for a set of smaller MSI files instead of one large MSI file, and you can manipulate the MSI file with pre and post processing scripts.
