Short answer: The Microsoft Edge offline installer is the Edge for Business MSI. Microsoft publishes it on its Edge for Business download page, where you choose a channel, build and platform. For 64-bit Windows the file is
MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi, and there are also x86 and ARM64 builds. The regular download isMicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe, a small installer that pulls the browser from Microsoft’s servers while it installs. The MSI already holds the whole browser, so you can copy it to a PC that has no internet connection. Before you run it, check its SHA-256 against the hash in Microsoft’s update feed and confirm the Authenticode signature is from Microsoft Corporation.
Official-source review — 18 October 2026 UTC: We checked Microsoft’s Edge for Business download page, the Microsoft Learn Edge deployment documentation (channels, supported operating systems, policy templates, rollback, Configuration Manager and the endpoint allowlist), Microsoft Support’s Edge troubleshooting article, the Microsoft Edge blog and Microsoft’s September 2026 security blog post on fake download sites. On 17 October 2026 we downloaded the Stable x64 MSI from Microsoft’s own delivery host. Its SHA-256 matched the hash Microsoft publishes, and Windows reported a valid Authenticode signature from Microsoft Corporation. We did not install or run Edge, and we did not test any deployment method described below.
Where Microsoft publishes the Edge offline installer
Microsoft has two download pages for Edge. The consumer Edge page gives you a single “Download for Windows” button. The Edge for Business page is for organizations. It covers Windows, macOS and Linux, says the Windows downloads apply to all supported client and server releases of Windows, and lets you choose the channel, build and platform. The same selector also has a separate “Get policy files” button.
Microsoft’s own documentation sends administrators to this page for the MSI. The Edge rollback guide says to download the MSI for the version you need from the business download page. The Configuration Manager guide calls these files the “Microsoft Edge Enterprise installation files” and imports them as a Windows Installer (.msi) application. For the browser’s own page on our site, see Microsoft Edge.
Online installer vs offline MSI
Microsoft Support’s Edge troubleshooting article explains why the standard installer needs a working connection. During a first install, Edge is downloaded from *.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com, so the article asks you to make sure your internet connection is stable. When we checked the response headers of Microsoft’s consumer installer link on 18 October 2026, the server offered a file named MicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe with a size of 1,867,984 bytes, about 1.8 MB. We did not download that file. The Stable x64 MSI is 214,589,440 bytes.
| Online installer | Offline MSI (Edge for Business) | |
|---|---|---|
| File name | MicrosoftEdgeSetup.exe |
MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi (plus x86 and ARM64 builds) |
| Size | 1,867,984 bytes (server header) | 214,589,440 bytes for Stable x64 155.0.4283.62 |
| Internet needed while installing | Yes, it downloads the browser from Microsoft’s delivery hosts | No, the full browser is in the file |
| Where to get it | microsoft.com/edge | microsoft.com/edge/business/download |
| Choose channel and version | No | Yes, including older builds |
| Used in Microsoft’s deployment guides | No | Yes: Configuration Manager, msiexec rollback |
| Published hash | None we could find | SHA-256 in Microsoft’s update feed |
Find the current MSI and its hash with Microsoft’s update feed
Microsoft also publishes a public JSON feed at https://edgeupdates.microsoft.com/api/products. We could not find a Microsoft Learn page that documents it, but it is on a microsoft.com domain and points to Microsoft’s own delivery hosts. Each release lists its version, platform, architecture, download location, SHA-256 hash and size in bytes. Run this in PowerShell to get the latest Stable x64 MSI:
$products = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://edgeupdates.microsoft.com/api/products'
$release = ($products | Where-Object Product -eq 'Stable').Releases |
Where-Object { $_.Platform -eq 'Windows' -and $_.Architecture -eq 'x64' -and $_.Artifacts } |
Sort-Object { [version]$_.ProductVersion } -Descending |
Select-Object -First 1
$msi = $release.Artifacts | Where-Object ArtifactName -eq 'msi'
$release.ProductVersion
$msi | Format-List Location, Hash, HashAlgorithm, SizeInBytes
On 17 October 2026 the feed listed Stable 155.0.4283.62 for Windows x64, published 2026-10-16T18:39. The artifact was MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi, 214,589,440 bytes, SHA-256 20119979EB1670F670D38C093FD1C61F5A91D880C473F8614825CE9AEF35F68A, hosted on msedge.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com. When we ran the script again on 18 October, the version, size and hash were unchanged, but PublishedTime now read 2026-10-18T07:21. Do not treat that field as a fixed release date. Change 'x64' to 'x86' or 'arm64' for the other builds. On 18 October those were 190,324,736 bytes (x86) and 217,874,432 bytes (ARM64), both version 155.0.4283.62.
Verify the MSI: hash and digital signature
Download from the Location URL or from the business page. Then run two checks. Get-FileHash uses SHA-256 by default, and Get-AuthenticodeSignature reads the file’s Authenticode signature. These are the same checks we ran on 17 October.
$file = "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi"
(Get-FileHash -Path $file -Algorithm SHA256).Hash -eq $msi.Hash
Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath $file |
Format-List Status, StatusMessage, @{n='Signer';e={$_.SignerCertificate.Subject}}
You want True from the first line, Valid for Status, and Microsoft Corporation in the signer. A mismatch means the file is not the one Microsoft listed. Delete it and download again from Microsoft. You can also paste the hash into our SHA-256 checker, or follow our guide to checking an installer’s digital signature in File Explorer.
Channels: Stable, Extended Stable, Beta and Dev
Microsoft Learn’s channel overview lists these channels:
- Stable is for broad deployment and gets new features about every two weeks. It is supported.
- Extended Stable is not a separate browser. It is an enterprise option for Stable that moves to a new major version about every eight weeks. It is supported.
- Beta is for testing with a representative group of users. It is supported.
- Dev updates weekly and Canary daily. Neither is supported.
You opt in to Extended Stable through the “Target Channel override” policy. Microsoft adds that devices on a newer Stable build won’t downgrade on their own. To put every PC on a specific Extended Stable version, deploy that version’s MSI with rollback enabled.
Edge policy templates
The installer and the policies are separate downloads. According to Microsoft Learn’s policy configuration guide, Edge has two administrative templates. msedge.admx covers browser settings and msedgeupdate.admx covers updates. You download the policy templates file from the Edge Enterprise landing page, extract it, and copy the ADMX and matching ADML files into PolicyDefinitions. That is the Central Store for a domain, or C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions on a single PC. Open edge://policy to see which policies apply. On the business page this is the “Get policy files” button, which gives you templates, not the browser.
Windows 7 and 8.1: version 109 was the last
Do not deploy a current MSI to Windows 7 or 8.1. Microsoft’s supported operating systems page says support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 ended in Edge version 109. The Microsoft Edge blog adds that version 109 keeps working but gets no new features, security updates or bug fixes. The same Learn page lists Windows 10 version 1709 and later, Windows 11 and Windows Server 2016 through 2025 as supported. It also says Edge will keep updating on Windows 10 22H2 until at least October 2028, without needing ESU. If you are planning a Windows upgrade, see our note on Windows 11 24H2 end of support.
Fake “Edge download” sites
Edge is a target for impersonation. In a 1 September 2026 security blog post, Microsoft described fake download pages that copied the Edge, Razer, Kaspersky and other download pages and delivered malware. One of the domains was app-microsoft-edge[.]com[.]cn. Microsoft’s main recommendation was to prevent downloads from untrusted software sources.
Microsoft documents its own download hosts. Microsoft Support points to microsoft.com/edge as the official download link. The Edge endpoint allowlist lists msedge.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com and the related *.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com hosts as the places Edge is downloaded from. If a link to an Edge MSI points anywhere else, don’t use it. Our fake download sites list and download site checker can help with links you’re unsure about. Need a different browser?

Questions
Is the Edge for Business MSI only for companies?
Microsoft aims it at organizations, but it is the same Edge browser, packaged as an MSI with the whole browser inside. That makes it useful for any PC that has to install without internet access.
Does the offline MSI keep Edge updated?
The MSI installs one fixed version. Microsoft’s rollback guide shows that updates are controlled by the Edge Update policies, for example turning updates off before a manual MSI rollback. Unless policy stops it, Edge Update checks Microsoft’s update service and keeps the browser current.
Which MSI should I pick: x64, x86 or ARM64?
Pick the build that matches the architecture of your Windows installation. Microsoft’s feed lists all three as separate artifacts with their own hashes, so check the hash for the exact file you downloaded.
Can I install an older Edge version from the MSI?
Yes, but only on purpose. Microsoft’s rollback guide uses msiexec /I FileName.msi /qn ALLOWDOWNGRADE=1. It warns that older versions carry known security issues and that a rollback can lose browsing data, which is why it recommends turning on Sync first.
