6). Supports contrib products - where a product can be shared by other products.
7). Supports products dependencies/references during install/uninstall time.
8). Product can be grouped into a hierarchy of features and components.
9). Supports multiple Profiles (logical grouping of products/features).
10). Supports Hotfix installation and rollback of hotfix.
11). Extensive logging mechanism.
