Property Settings

Property ID:

The name that uniquely identifies the property.

Property value:

The value of the property. Note that you cannot set a property with another property. The literal value that you enter will be assigned to the property.

Hide from log output

If checked, the property is not logged during installation. Used to prevent the installer from displaying passwords or other confidential information in the log file.

Save value during admin installation

If checked, the property is saved during administrative installation. When users install from the administrative image, the installation uses the saved values of the properties, rather than the values in the .msi file.

Allow transfer to server side (property is secure)

If checked, the property can be passed to the server side when doing a managed installation with elevated privileges.

Suppress modularization

If checked, this property will not be merged into another MSI database if you are creating a merge module. Using this functionality is strongly discouraged; it should only be necessary as a work-around of last resort in rare scenarios.
