Detailed information has not been added for this feature.
Windows Installer is a stand-alone component. The function of Windows Installer does not rely on any other XPlite Professional components and removing other components in XPlite Professional should not influence Windows Installer.
The following components are dependent on Windows Installer. If you remove Windows Installer from your system using XPlite Professional you will also be required to uninstall the following components:
XPlite Professional can completely uninstall Windows Installer and reinstall to repair Windows Installer on:
- Windows XP Professional: orig, SP1, SP2
- Windows XP Home: orig, SP1, SP2
- Windows 2000 Professional: orig, SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4
- Windows 2003 Server: orig, SP1, SP2(coming!)
