Feature Requests: MSI installer with switches and change service executable path to a common protected location

As a Microsoft 365 application administrator, it is easiest to manage Windows applications using MSI installers that support switches for various software configuation settings. In this case, we could benefit from having a switch for the provisioning code as well as basic support for silent install. The MSI installer should be the command line client and add ctrld.exe to the PATH. For the GUI application, we don't personally have a need for this, but I could imagine others would. Hopefully someone else can jump in and provide details if interested.

Additionally, per Microsoft's security recommendation titled, "Change service executable path to a common protected location", the recommend action is to move the Control D service to a protected location. The recommendation is to move your service executable to a common protected path like 'C:\Windows', 'C:\Program Files', 'C:\Program Files(x86)', or 'C:\ProgramData'

Thanks for considering these changes.
