about the current installation project and quick access to areas of the installation:
Links to Installation Expert pages that have content in the current installation and,
where appropriate, the number of items defined on each page.
Examples: How many features are defined on the Features page, how many files
have been added to the Files page, and so on.
Links to the Package Contents reports.
Installation package meta data (read-only). You can edit the meta data.
See Product Details Page
A check box in Wise Options determines whether the Project Summary page appears
when an installation is opened.
Use the Product Details page to enter, edit, or view an installation's meta data. Meta
data is displayed for .MSI, .WSI, and .MST files. In the Value column of the Package
Meta Data table, you can enter or edit meta data that is not read-only.
Note
The meta data that appears when you create a transform comes from the base .MSI. If
you change a transform's meta data, it is set when the transform is applied.
Meta Data and the Software Manager Database
If you define meta data fields in Software Manager, they appear on the Product Details
page unless the Software Manager database cannot be found. You can edit these meta
data fields on the Product Details page or in Software Manager. In Software Manager,
you can also change the order in which the meta data fields appear on the Product
Details page.
