Windows Installer installs and removes an application or product in parts referred to as components. Components are collections of resources that are always installed or removed as a unit from a user's system. A resource can be a file, registry key, shortcut, or anything else that may be installed. Every component is assigned a unique component code GUID.
Authors of installation packages should only create components, and versions of components, that can be installed and removed without damaging other components. Also, the removal of a component should not leave behind any orphaned resources on the user's computer, such as unused files, registry keys, or shortcuts.
