System Recovery on Failed Installation
The Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) provides the ability to return a system
to its fully working condition after a failed installation. MSI does this by
maintaining an undo operation for every Standard Action it performs during
an install, upgrade, or uninstall. This operation includes restoration of deleted
or overwritten files, registry keys, and other resources. Windows temporarily
saves any files that it deletes or overwrites during the course of an installation
or removal, so they can be restored if necessary, which is a type of rollback.
After a successful installation finishes, Windows deletes all of the temporary
backup files.
