We have windows desktop application developed many years ago and it is created using wix installer and packaged as exe.

Can we remove wix installer and use MSIX to create installer and deploy to production as downloadable version? The application has AppServer project(web) and all UI in windows forms. Is MSIX installer is like clickOnce deployment tool which can allow user to autoupdate? Also, How I deploy to all client machines first time and also every time we release/upgrade to new version?
