The following example, plus the examples in the InstallException constructors, together make up an example showing an assembly having its own installer. The installer is named MyInstaller, which has an attribute RunInstallerAttribute, indicating that this installer will be invoked by Installer Tool (Installutil.exe). Installer Tool (Installutil.exe) calls the methods Commit, Rollback, Install and Uninstall. The code in Commit presumes that a file named FileDoesNotExist.txt exists before the installation of the assembly can be committed. If the file FileDoesNotExist.txt does not exist, Commit raises an InstallException. The same is the case with Uninstall in which an uninstallation will only happen if a file named FileDoesNotExist.txt exists. Otherwise it raises an InstallException. In Rollback, a code fragment is executed, which might raise an exception. If the exception is raised, it is caught and an InstallException is raised with that exception being passed to it.
