components, and ensures that other applications do not overwrite your version of
shared components. This lets you proactively eliminate potential conflicts with other
applications.
Application Isolation operates on Windows Installer installation files and transform files.
You can save the output of Application Isolation as an .MSI or, to avoid violating a
license agreement by changing the .MSI, you can save the output as an .MST.
Warning
Isolation does not work on all applications. Applications must be written according to
Microsoft programming guidelines. (Example: If an application contains hard-coded
paths to support files, isolation might not work.) Because ApplicationWatch records the
support files accessed by an installation, use it to determine if the application follows
Microsoft programming guidelines for accessing files.
See
ApplicationWatch
on page 94.
If you cannot use Application Isolation, use ConflictManager instead, which resolves
conflicts rather than isolates applications.
Because Application Isolation has the potential to change the location of files within your
installation and to change the feature and component layout of the installation
database, test the package thoroughly after using Application Isolation.
