How Software Gets Installed

Can Your Installer Do This at RUNTIME?

• Run successfully even when Windows Installer is unavailable or compromised?
• Create and delete setup features, securely downloading authenticated bits, at runtime?
• Partially web deploy itself, running successfully without forcing an Internet connection for minimum installs?
• Download optional components or technology frameworks only when required?
• Switch between 32 bit and 64 bit installation modes, at runtime?
