Working with Windows Installer and Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Properties

InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

Advanced UI
Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI
Merge Module
MSI Database
MSM Database
Suite/Advanced UI
Transform

Note that some differences between properties in Windows Installer–based projects and that in Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI projects exist; these differences are noted where appropriate.

The Windows Installer, Advanced UI, and Suite/Advanced UI engines maintain global information using properties. The Property Manager view displays a list of installation properties that are used by the Windows Installer engine or the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI engine at run time. You can modify, create, and delete installer properties in the Property Manager view. At build time, InstallShield writes the properties in the Property Manager view to installation that it creates.

For background information on property support in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI projects, see Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Property Reference.
