COM servers, type libraries, WinHelp files, device drivers, services, registry
updates, INI files, environment variables, program groups, shortcuts, and

localization remains intact. Tarma installer 5 supports feature and component based
installation as well as add-on and update installers and can import MSI merge

different preflight checks to spot potential problems before you deploy your
