+## MSQ - MSI Squirrel
+Binaries in this folder are a special version of the official Squirrel.Windows. They area modified to work seamlessly with MSI installations created by electron-wix-msi V3. MSQ stays compatible with update packages created by the official Squirrel.Windows
+
+### Binaries
+- msq.exe = modified Squirrel.Windows executable, a.k.a. Update.exe,
+   a.k.a Squirrel.ex
+- StubExecutable.exe - Unmodified stub executable
+   responsible to launch the app binary with the highest version number
+   in the app-x.x.x subfolders.
+
+### What changed compared to the official squirrel
+- Packaging has been disabled.
+- Installing has been disabled.
+- Uninstalling has been disabled.
+- Shortcut/Deshortcut has been disabled.
+- A bug fix to allow update without local `packages` folder or RELEASE file. This is the case after a fresh install of the MSI and no update has yet been installed.
+- Creating an Uninstall registry has been removed. Instead, only the DisplayVersion of in the custom Uninstall registry created by the MSI is updated.
