I need msi because our users need to choose installation path easily

MSI and MSIX are very different installation formats with very different philosophies. For example, MSIX apps are locked down after installation and the OS manages its files directly, but also many other small differences. This package is for MSIX, so you'd want to find a different workflow for MSI installers instead of trying to combine both into one package.

If you want to give MSIX another try, there is an option for packaged apps with external location. Try looking into this and seeing if it helps. You can use dart run msix:build, modify the AppxManifest.xml file, then run dart run msix:pack to test your changes.
