Convert MSI to XAP

Can you convert MSI to XAP?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert MSI to XAP?
No - not a direct conversion.

XAP was the package format for the long-dead Windows Phone / Silverlight; an MSI is a desktop Windows installer. There is no meaningful conversion, and Windows Phone itself is end-of-life. (db software_count 0.)
