what is windows installer

Answer Posted / syedak

The Windows Installer (previously known as Microsoft Installer[1]) is an engine for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software on modern Microsoft Windows systems.

Microsoft encourages third parties to use Windows Installer as the basis for installation frameworks, so that they synchronize correctly with other installers and keep the internal database of installed products consistent. Important features such as rollback and versioning depend on a consistent internal database for reliable operation.
