Description¶

TCustomInstaller is the base class for implementing package installation systems. It provides the framework for managing packages, coordinating with the build engine, and handling different installation modes.

The installer manages a collection of packages, provides access to the build engine, and supports different run modes including compilation, installation, cleaning, and archiving. It serves as the bridge between the command-line interface and the build system.
