Microsoft Store for Business with PI client tools

Please consider distributing PI System client tool via "Microsoft Store for Business" https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store/search?q=OSIsoft This would be a convenient way to install and update PI System Management Tools (SMT), PI System Explorer, PI ProcessBook, PI SQL Commander (PI OLEDB\PI OLEDBEnt), PI DataLink, and PI Builder, etc. This would also remove the hassle of packaging the software installers in the enterprise software package management systems.

    I agree with the suggestion but not with the example list of programs. PI System Management Tools and PI System Explorer would be better off being remade as web apps. PI DataLink and PI Builder could go in the Office Store. PI ProcessBook is slowly dying in favour of PI Vision. PI OLEDB Provider and PI OLEDB Enterprise have been mostly superseded by PI SQL Client. That leaves PI SQL Client as basically the only modern PI client program, and the only PI program that would be appropriate for the Microsoft Store.

    I also feel that this should be moved to the Installation category: https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/555148-pi-server?category_id=181213
