By using isolated components, authors of installation packages can specify that the installer copy the shared files of an application directly into the application's folder rather than to a shared location. This private set of files are then used exclusively by the application.
For more information, see Installing a COM component to a private location, Installing a non-COM component to a private location, Make a COM component in an existing package private , or Make a non-COM component in an existing package private.
