MSIs are used to install individual applications, not upload a bunch of them from a server.
If you're asking how to create an MSI to install an app, then you're asking too much. As a first step, you need to understand Windows Installer, so get hold of Phil Wilson's excellent book The Definitive Guide To Windows Installer. It can be found as an e-book if you're persistent.

Do you have any script to achieve this? If you want a msi to do this, then simply add the script inside msi and trigger the execution of the script using CustomAction. You have various tools to create msi.

Hi,
again, without more information no one can provide any useful help. What do you want to deploy to the target systems?
Files?
Registry information?
Shortcuts?
A complete application?
Perhaps it is already available as an installation (Legacy / MSI)
Perhaps you have a list of files that need to be deployed, some may require to be registered (OCX / ActiveX / COM)
What exactly?
The way you are posing your question is similar to me asking you how much money do I have in my wallet, although I live in Europe, I'd like an answer in Dirham (the currency of Dubai)...
I apologise if you think I am being sarcastic, but believe me, If you really expect us to help, we need more information...
