We will investigate how to best store unistall-information, including use of shared files.The WG will investigate the different variations of installs, including first-time installs, updates, demo-versions, plugin-type installs, installs for small utilities, in-place installs, and installs to other directories.
The WG will look at current tools for installing applications, and will work to define new tools.
