+	/**
+		The RSoftwareInstall class provides an asynchronous interface to the Software
+		Install Framework. This class wraps all the details of client-server communication
+		with the SIF server residing in a separate process. This API is asynchronous and
+		therefore clients may issue concurrect requests. However, the SIF constrains
+		concurrent operations by default. A client issuing an Install or Uninstall request
+		may set the aExclusiveOperation flag to EFalse in order to allow for concurrent
+		execution of his request. However, even if this flag is set to EFalse, a request
+		may fail with KErrServerBusy if a corresponding underlying installer doesn't
+		support concurrent operations.
+
+		This class is intended to be used by SIF client applications, for example, application
+		or device managers.
+
+		Software @see TComponentId needed for the Uninstall/Activate/Deactivate APIs is a unique
+		identifier of an installed component regardless of its type across the system.  When installing
+		a package containing other embedded packages each embedded component gets its own @see
+		TComponentId in the descending order. For example, we have a package P1 that contains an
+		embedded package P2 that contains yet another embedded package P3.
+		After installation the components may be identified by the following Ids:
+		- Id of Component 1 (Package 1): 6 (example value)
+		- Id of Component 2 (Package 2): 7
+		- Id of Component 3 (Package 3): 8
+		Component 3 with Id = 8 is the last installed/most embedded component and therefore its id
+		is the highest.
+
+		All the SIF operations may require special capabilities in order to complete successfully.
+		This check may be implemented in a SIF plug-in. For example, a silent installation may require
+		the TrustedUI capability. However, this is expected behavour that standard operations
+		don't require any capabilities. Please see @see Usif::CSifPlugin description for further details
+		if there are any deviations from this rule.
