MSI Isolated Components: The isolated component method copies shared files (typically DLLs) into an application's folder instead of a shared location. The application then uses these files instead of global ones, preventing modifications made by other applications from affecting the shared files.

Isolation is the electrical or magnetic separation between two circuits and often used to separate two distinct sections of a power supply. The isolation provides a barrier across which dangerous voltages cannot pass in the event of a fault or component failure.
