What is the purpose of the Windows Installer service?
The Windows Installer Service is an operating system service that was developed by Microsoft to improve the installation and uninstallation of programs, make software deployment in corporate networks easier, and to solve common problems such as shared dll conflicts. The Windows Installer is also a set of rules that developers must follow to take advantage of the service. To use all the features, your application has to be "Windows Installer aware" - so you have to think about installation already when you plan and write your application, not after everything is complete.
The Windows Installer has formerly been called "Microsoft Installer" (MSI). Therefore the names of the API functions start with "Msi", and the installer packages have the .MSI extension.
