Properties of a MSI

Post by Frank »

The output of our project delivers a compressed EXE. When I hover over this EXE in Windows Explorere or right-click to get the properties I can see the version, company, comments etc. That's good. 8)

Next I use the GPO to create an MSI. When I hover over this one or right-click to get the properties I get a default text (like: This installer database contains the logic and data required to install <product>.).
This doesn't correspond with my settings. I've looked around in IA9, but I can't find the place where to edit these. I can ofcourse change these values in the property screen of the Windows Explorer, but can they be changed inside IA9?

The GPW does not change these settings - but you can change them with any MSI DB editor, such as Orca.

You can also change the master GPW template MSI - located as C:\\Program Files\\InstallAware 9\\group policy\\template.msi - again using Orca.
