There is a [http://dev.joomla.org/xml/1.5/component-install.dtd manifest DTD for Joomla! 1.5 components] which can be used as a guide to the syntax, but it cannot be used to validate the manifest due to a problem with the 1.5 component installer. This should be corrected for Joomla! 1.6 onwards.

	If you need more to be done to the live site upon (un)installation than deploying the files, languages, and executing SQL statements, the installer files are your way.

If you need more to be done to the live site upon (un)installation than deploying the files, languages, and executing SQL statements, the installer files are your way. For example, you might need to update existing data entries in the tables during an upgrade installation. Indicate the scripts in the manifest file (see above), and the code will be executed after deployment.

	The ~~scrips~~ should ~~have~~ exactly one function:		The install script should define exactly one function:

	<source lang=php>		<source lang=php>
	function com_install()		function com_install()

			The uninstall script, respectively, should also define exactly one function:
