Previously, even if the Windows agent installer file was correctly deployed with MKP, the Bakery would ignore it. This issue has been resolved in the current release.

Important. It is now allowed—and encouraged—to include unsigned MSI files in an MKP package. However, if a signed MKP must be deployed for any reason, the author of the MKP must also provide an unsigned patch file named unsign-msi.patch alongside the installer file. Otherwise, the customer may encounter issues during installation on the target system.
