System Recovery on Failed Installation
If a software installation utility encounters a fatal error during setup, your system may become unstable.
To address this problem, Dell OpenManage installers provide the ability to rollback, or return, the system
to its fully-working condition prior to the failed installation.
The Windows Installer service provides Dell OpenManage installers the ability to rollback by
maintaining an undo operation for every operation that it performs during an installation, uninstallation,
or any other configuration change. If some aspect of the installation fails during an installation session,
the Windows Installer service can precisely return the system to its previous state. This feature includes
restoration of deleted or overwritten files, registry keys, and other resources. Files that are deleted or
overwritten during the course of an installation or removal are temporarily saved to a backup location, so
they can be restored if necessary. After an installation finishes successfully, all temporary backup files
are deleted.
An installation cannot be rolled back once it has successfully completed. A transacted installation is
intended as a safety net that protects the system during a given installation session. If you want to
remove an installed application, for example, you should uninstall that application.
