Shared Components

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2

A shared component is a component that is installed on a target system if it is not already present. A shared component can be made available to other products on target systems.

During uninstallation or upgrade, a shared component is removed only if no other product on the target system references it. The uninstaller for the last product that references the shared component removes it.

If one or more products on the target system reference a shared component, an upgrade may overwrite it and lead to unexpected results in the other products that reference it. For more information, see Special Considerations for Upgrade Support.
