Hello,
It's a larger nicer icon for msiexec with the svg source.
Having icons in .svg format is a nice improvement, but we'll need a tool to build the .ico from the .svg. We also need to include multiple sizes in the .ico, most places want a 32x32 icon, and scaling down the 48x48 looks bad. Of course we should also look into taking advantage of the larger size where that's possible without breaking compatibility.

I've created a system to produce Win32 .icos from SVGs for another project[1]. I used rsvg to convert svg->png, imagemagick's convert to reduce color depths and finally icotool[2] to assemble the Win32 icon.
