Proceeding on Successful and Unsuccessful Installations

If the installation succeeds, the user of the target computer may be able to use the newly installed application immediately, or he may need to log off and on again before using the new application. This depends on the software installed and the Installer configuration.

If the installation fails the Installer cancels the changes made, according to the current reset level. System data is recorded and stored in the backup directory during installation, if a reset is needed.

For instructions on configuring Windows NT computers so that user profile updates are activated immediately after an installation or removal, see Configure Updates to Be Activated Immediately.
