        Why do you want to convert it ? to publish/push software in AD ?

            Use PDQ Deploy, no .msi needed. It will push installs via .exe files and you can add any command switches you need.

                  Or Salt, or Ansible, or GPO...

                      Nope, Microsoft's own site said that MS doesn't provide any tool for this.

                                  If you knew anything about computers, software, or IT, you'd avoid everything Symantec does like an unvaccinated child.

                                    MS used to have a tool called Orca that could be used for this task. Pretty sure it is long since retired with no replacement though.

                                      Was it a "killer" app by any chance?

                                            Seriously? You were given viable options and you chose to respond about a piece of dead software that was likely purposefully killed off?
