The windows installer (previously known as Microsoft Installer) is a software component used for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software on modern Microsoft Windows systems. The installation information and often the files themselves, are packaged in installation packages, loosely relational databases structured as COM structured Storages and commonly known as MSI files from their default file extension.
