Examples

The following example demonstrates the TransactedInstaller, Install and Uninstall methods of the TransactedInstaller class.

This example provides an implementation similar to that of Installutil.exe (Installer Tool). It installs assemblies with the options preceding that particular assembly. If an option is not specified for an assembly, the previous assembly's options are used if there is a previous assembly in the list. If either the "/u" or "/uninstall" option is specified, the assemblies are uninstalled. If the "/?" or "/help" option is provided, the help information is displayed to the console.

Remarks

Call this method to remove a previously completed installation. This Uninstall method calls the Uninstall method of each installer in the Installers property to uninstall any resources set during installation. Any exceptions during uninstallation are ignored.

Note

Although the Install and Commit methods save the state of the computer after the installations, the file containing the IDictionary from the savedState parameter might have been deleted at some point after the installation was complete. If the file is deleted, the savedState parameter is null.
