This view allows you to set how a package is installed on the target system, and the behavior during installation, repair and de-installation.
The installation context determines whether the package will be installed on user or per-machine basis. It affects the registration information written during installation and the location of various folder, including:
•Desktop folder
•Program menu folder
•Start menu folder
•Startup folder
•ProgramFiles folder
•CommonFiles folder
There are three available options:
•Per-machine
The package will be installed for all users. Global shortcuts, Start Menu, and ProgramFiles folders will be used. This is the default setting for repackaged applications. User installing the package has to have the permissions to write to the global locations. This setting corresponds to the ALLUSERS property value of 1.
•Per-user
The package will be installed for the current user. Private shortcuts, Start Menu, and ProgramFiles folders will be used. If the package is not writing to any protected areas, the user installing the package does not have to have administrator permissions. This setting corresponds to the missing value of ALLUSERS property.
•Determine by user privileges
The installation context will be determined automatically based on who is installing the package. This settings corresponds to the ALLUSERS property of value 2
These settings control the way files will be handled in case of reinstallation of the MSI package.
Files (only one of the options can be selected):
•P – reinstall if missing
Reinstalls the file only if it is missing.
•O – Reinstall if missing or is in older version
Reinstalls the file if it is missing or is an older version.
•E – Reinstall if missing or is in equal or older version
Reinstalls the file if it is missing, or is an equal or older version.
•D – Reinstall if missing or with different version
Reinstalls the file if it is missing or a different version is present.
•A – always reinstall
Forces all files to be reinstalled, regardless of checksum or version.
•Reinstall all user registry entries
Rewrites all required registry entries from the Registry table that go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_USERS
•Reinstall all machine registry entries
Rewrites all required registry entries from the Registry table that go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
•Reinstall shortcuts
Reinstalls all shortcuts and recaches all icons overwriting any existing shortcuts and icons.
Use to run from the source package and recache the local package.
These settings control the way the reboot is handled on a target machine
•Never reboot
The installer suppresses all restarts and restart prompts initiated by ForceReboot during the installation amd all restarts and restart prompts at the end of the installation.
•Reboot if required
The installer suppresses prompts for a restart at the end of the installation. The installer still prompts the user with an option to restart during the installation whenever it encounters the ForceReboot action.
•Always reboot
The installer will always prompt for a restart at the end of the installation. The UI always prompts the user with an option to restart at the end.
•Do not display any reboot prompts
If this option is checked, no reboot prompt will be shown even if a reboot is required. In that case, the installer will initiate reboot automatically, without waiting for any interaction from user.
These settings control the usage of Windows Installer rollback feature
•Disable the rollback
If this option is checked, the rollback option will be disabled for the current configuration. The installer is then prevented from generating a rollback script and saving copies of deleted files during the installation.
If the rollback is enabled, the combobox below can be used to select the strategy when there is not enough space on hard drive to initiate the rollback copy:
•Ask whether to continue without a rollback
The user will be prompted that subsequent installation will be potentially unsafe, as no rollback script can be generated.
•Disable rollback and continue without asking user
The rollback will be disabled and the installation will continue without waiting for user interaction
•Fail with the out-of-disk space error prompt
The installation will return error when no rollback script can be saved due to lack of hard disk space.
This list determines which MSI properties should be treated as "Admin properties". Windows Installer saves their value at the time of administrative installation, and restores these values during actual installation from the admin image.
•Click Add to add a new property to the list.
•Click Remove selected... to remove the currently selected property.
•To rename the focused property, press F2 or double click the name to trigger the editing mode. The name of the property must be a valid MSI identifier.
