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.
