Microsoft Windows Installer is a redistributable system component
that enables software developers to enjoy the benefits of a better
application deployment.
It provides the backbone for installing and uninstalling software on the operating system.
One
of the most important capabilities of Windows Installer is Multiple
Package Transaction. It uses a chainer to integrate packages in a
transaction with multiple components. So in case not all packages are
successfully installed or you choose to cancel the installation process,
Windows Installer can roll back all the changes and restore the
operating system to its original state.
In addition to
that, you do not have to install packages one by one and reboot the
machine after each installation. Windows Installer does that in a single
transaction that integrates the installation progress, rollback and
reboot.
When it comes to patching an application,
Windows Installer only updates the files affected by the patch, thus
reducing the patching time. If you choose to uninstall a patch, you can
do that regardless of the order the other patches were installed, and
revert the software to the state before the patching occurred.
The
Embeded UI Handler is another feature provided by Windows Installer. It
allows you to integrate a custom user interface handler in the
installer package that can be invoked using the Add or Remove Programs
applet in the Control Panel or during a product repair process.
Moreover,
Microsoft Windows Installer makes it possible for an updated component
to be available to all products using it (enable installation events
across multiple packages). Last but not least, setup developers can use
Windows Installer to develop single installation packages capable of
installing an application in either a per-machine or a per-user
installation context.
