Properties that are defined by settings in an installation at build time are listed below.
Some of them, such as INSTALLLEVEL, can be changed at run time from the command
line or during the Action Sequence. You also can create new properties for your own use.
See
Creating a New Property
On the Build Options page, you can configure an installation to create an .EXE that
launches an .MSI. Then the installation includes an .INI file that contains settings
necessary for the installation to run. Some of the build properties below determine the
default value of some of the properties in the .INI file. In that case, the property
description includes the name of the corresponding property in the .INI file.
Description
By default, debug mode is off. Set this property to 1 to debug .DLLs that you
added to an installation using a custom action. For this feature to work, the
Custom Action Type for the action must be Call DLL with Variable
Parameter List and you must have the Microsoft Visual C++ development
environment installed. The debugger opens at a breakpoint just before your
.DLL code begins, so at first you might see assembly code. If so, single-step
ahead to see your .DLL code.
Contains the text style used for body text on wizard pages. When you add a
control, set its font to this font, otherwise the font specified in DefaultUIFont
is used. The font choices for this property are listed in the TextStyle table
located on the Tables tab.
Contains the text that's appended to the name of the application
(ProductName) in the wizard page title bar.
