Tip • When viewing or editing specific tables, pressing F1 launches the Microsoft Windows Installer help system to
the appropriate table, if it is a standard Windows Installer table. When F1 is pressed while viewing a non-standard
table, the Windows Installer help system launches to its default topic. Consult the software vendor for information
about custom tables.

Editing Tables by Launching the Direct Editor from the Validation Tab
Upon completion of a Pre- or Postvalidation, the Validation tab is automatically selected, and all of the Errors,
Warnings, and Info messages that were generated are listed in table format. Each table row lists an icon to indicate
whether it is an Error (
and a brief description of what caused it to occur.
If a row is grayed out, it indicates that the table cannot be edited in the Direct Editor (perhaps because it is in an
external package). If a row is active, you can double-click on it to open that row's associated table. The Direct
Editor is launched and the table and/or table cells that are causing the problem are highlighted in red.
This feature makes it very easy for you to use the Direct Editor to edit values in the MSI tables of the base Windows
Installer package and store them in your transform.
Resizing Table Columns in the Direct Editor
When you initially open the Direct Editor, the selected table's columns are listed in a compact format so that the
maximum number of columns are displayed.
To automatically resize a column so that its width matches that of its longest entry, double-click on the column
heading. This new column width setting is automatically saved and will be implemented the next time you view this
table column in the Direct Editor.
