This feature makes sure that the most recent version of a component is available to all products.
Custom action execution on update uninstall
This feature lets an update add or change a custom action so that the custom action is called when an update is uninstalled.
Issues that are addressed in Windows Installer 4.5
The issues present in earlier versions of Windows Installer that are addressed in Windows Installer 4.5 are as follows:
- The SeBackupPrivilege user right was missing in the Windows Installer service. This lack hindered any custom actions that needed this user right.
- Some case-sensitive service-name comparisons in the InstallValidate action resulted in an unnecessary «files in use» message in Windows Vista.
- When you uninstalled an update that added a new component, the component was also uninstalled. This occurred even if the component was shared by other products.

Если это произошло, то нам помогут следующие действия:
Восстановление Windows Installer для Windows 7
- Зайдите «Пуск» — «Панель управления» — «Администрирование» — «Службы» — запустите службу «Установщик Windows»
- Если служба не запускается, открываем «Командную строку» («Пуск» — строка поиска, нижняя строчка) и пишем команду sfc /scannow , после завершения процедуры нужно перезагрузить компьютер и попробовать запустить службу снова.
- Если это не помогло, тогда на компьютере (где служба работает) нужно открыть «Редактор реестра» «(Пуск» — в строке поиска пишем — regedit + «Enter») , открываем ветку HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msiserver и экспортируем папку msiserver, переносим файл на «больной» ПК и двойным кликом по файлу вносим данные в реестр. Перезагружаем компьютер и пробуем запустить службу Installer.
Можно скачать уже готовый файл реестра.
