Setup Editor provides an in-depth view of all changes that you make to an installation.
You can make those changes in Setup Editor or Installation Expert. However, there are
certain advanced tasks that you can perform in Setup Editor only:
Edit the text on installation dialog boxes.
Create components and assign them to features.
Build complex conditions that must be met for installation to occur.
Select dialog boxes to appear during maintenance installations (uninstalls).
Edit the raw table data of the Windows Installer database.
Note
This documentation does not discuss Windows Installer tables, functions, or properties.
Before you edit raw table data, read the Windows Installer SDK help for that table. On
the Tables tab, click a table and press F1.
