Footnotes

This is the official, Microsoft name of the technology we employ in order to distribute and install most of our own products. However, the name "Microsoft Windows Installer" can easily be misinterpreted as an installation application that installs the operating system Microsoft Windows. In the interest of clarity we have therefore decided to use the term "Microsoft Installer" for this technology instead.
