When you install a Windows Installer (.msi) file, a script in the file specifies the actions that Windows Installer will perform. As each action is performed, the process that calls the .msi file into action updates a rollback script and, if files are to be deleted, backs up those files. Then, if the installation fails, Windows Installer can use the rollback script to undo any actions that have been performed and use the file backups to restore any deleted files.
