Windows Installer Editor Reference
To set product details
Select Installation Expert > Product Details page and complete the page:
Product Type
(Read-only.) This displays Windows Installer for installations and Transform for
transforms.
Product Name
Enter the name of the application, which by default is the name of the first directory
you create on the Files page.
The end user sees this name during installation and in the Add/Remove Programs
dialog box.
(Visual Studio integrated editor only.) If this installation is part of a Visual Studio
solution, this is pre-filled.
Manufacturer
Enter the manufacturer or publisher of the application.
(Visual Studio integrated editor only.) If this installation is part of a Visual Studio
solution, this is pre-filled.
Version
Enter the version number of the application. Windows Installer uses this to identify
this application when subsequent patches or upgrades are applied. The version
should be in the format AA.BB.CCCC.DDDD, where AA is the major version, BB is
the minor version, CCCC is the build version, and DDDD is optional and ignored. It is
stored as a string data type.
See Incrementing the Product Version
(Visual Studio integrated editor only.) If this installation is part of a Visual Studio
solution, this is pre-filled.
Warning
If you are releasing a newer version of your application but are not using an
upgrade or patch, it is very important to enter a new version on the Product Details
page. Not doing so can cause the installation to open in maintenance mode instead
of in normal installation mode. This can result in an installation that is a mixture of
old and new files, which can cause errors in your application. The only exception is if
the installation contains no new files, no deletion of files, and no other system
changes, which means that only the contents of files are changed.
Default Directory
During installation, this directory is displayed to the end user on the Destination
Folder dialog box, and the end user can change the default location for the
application. (The Destination Folder dialog box is called the Single Feature
Destination dialog box in Windows Installer Editor.) This defaults to the first
directory you create on the Files page. To change the default directory, select its
value, click the Change button, and select a new directory.
See Setting the Default Installation Directory
(Visual Studio integrated editor only.) If this installation is part of a Visual Studio
solution, this is pre-filled.
Package Path
(Read-only.) This displays the installation file's location.
