Property定义:Properties are global variables that Windows Installer uses during an installation.
比如,对于安装部署项目,在注册表里默认的HKCU\Software\[Manufacturer]
这里的 [Manufacturer]就是一个属性。
再如要将安装的路径写入注册表时的属性TARGETDIR。
添加一项:Name:foo Key:[TARGETDIR]
To use properties in your installation, you can get and set property values from programs using MsiGetProperty and MsiSetProperty and include as part of conditional statements in the installation database.
要设置一些Property,需要通过Installer的API如MsiSetProperty。
