The IGameExplorer2 COM interface provides developers with replacement interfaces for the current IGameExplorer interface. The IGameExplorer2 interface provides developers with the ability to call a single entry point (dependent on whether the user is installing or uninstalling the game) that will automate the required items, and remove the complexity of using IGameExplorer.
