When the Installer detects and executes an installation job, it creates a local archive for every product that will be installed. In the local archive, the Installer stores selected product data, such as all SXP archive files. A local product archive is deleted only if the associated product is removed.
The process used by the Installer to install a product is divided into several steps. Not all steps are executed for all products. Which steps are executed depends on the type of SXP archive files included with the product.
For each step, an SXP file is transferred to the local archive, and then processed by the Installer. The Installer replaces all of the parameters used in the SXP archive files with values that are valid for the target computer.
Therefore, each step is the result of the Installer’s processing a specific SXP file. If no SXP file was created during the packaging process for an individual product, the corresponding step is omitted when the product is installed on the target computer.
SXP files containing user-specific data are only prepared for the Logon function, which performs the actual user profile update when the Installer has finished or at the next log on.
The installation process includes the following steps:
The proceeding after installation is considered under Proceeding on Successful and Unsuccessful Installations.
