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 all files that it deletes or
overwrites during the course of an installation or removal, so that they can be restored if necessary,
which is a type of rollback. After a successful installation, Windows deletes all of the temporary backup
files.
In addition to the rollback of MSI Standard Actions, the library also has the ability to undo commands
listed in the INI file for each application if a rollback occurs. All files that are modified by the installation
actions are restored to their original state if a rollback occurs.
