installer
installer (operating system)A utility program to ease theinstallation of another, probably larger, application. Itis also possible for hardware to have an installer accompanyit, to install any low level device drivers required.
The installer commonly asks the user to enter desiredconfiguration options for the main program or hardware, andsets up various initialisation files accordingly, as well ascopying the main program to a hard disc.
Some badly designed operating systems require applications toprovide an uninstaller because of the number of differentfiles modified or created during the installation process.installerMay refer to the program run in "installing" a new application in a computer, or the term may refer to the software that developers use to create the install program users run. For developers, there are open source and commercial installers, both of which contain configuration menus, as well as a scripting language, for creating custom install packages with their logos and particular requirements.
