Windows Installer 的 Properties

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。
