Windows Installer Editor Reference
RTF Text
The installation author can enter any text in rich text format to replace the
default value. Example: Use this when you allow a different license
agreement to be selected.
Text Drop-down List
The installation author can select from a drop-down list to replace the
default value. This list displays only the name you gave the value, not the
actual value. This is useful when the values are not self-explanatory.
(Example: Use this option to make a property configurable. Possible choices
for the installation author could be to let all end users or only selected end
users install this particular file.)
Additional fields appear when you select this option.
See Specifying Drop-Down List Values for Substitution
Windows Installer Identifier
The installation author can enter text in the format of a Windows Installer
identifier to replace the default value. This text can contain ASCII
characters, digits, underscores, or periods, and must begin with either a
letter or an underscore. Example: Use this to allow a key to be changed or
entered into any table.
For information on the format types like the ones listed above, see Text Format
Types in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
Bitfield (Drop-down List)
The installation author can select from a drop-down list to replace the
default value. This list displays only the name you gave the value, not the
actual value. This is useful when you provide values that are not self-
explanatory. Use the bitfield type only on columns that are bit flags.
(Example: In the Files table, the Attribute column contains bit flags
representing the file attributes. Therefore, you can use the bitfield type to
make a file's attributes configurable. Possible choices for the installation
author could be for the file to be read-only; read-only and hidden; or read-
only, hidden, and vital.)
Additional fields appear when you select this option.
See Specifying a Bitfield for Substitution
Types in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
Integer
The installation author can enter any integer to replace the default value.
Example: Use this to make the size of a control or a dialog box configurable.
See Integer Format Types in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
Key Into a Table
The installation author can select a key into a table from a drop-down list to
replace the default value. (Example: Use this to let the installation author
change the directory for a component when adding a merge module to an
installation.)
Additional fields appear when you select this option.

the Windows Installer SDK Help.
