InstallShield 2016 » QuickPatch Project » General Information View » Build Settings
Project • This information applies to QuickPatch projects.
When you click Build Settings in the General Information view of a QuickPatch project, InstallShield displays several tabs. The Identification tab exposes settings for display strings. The display strings are used to populate information about the patch in Add or Remove Programs. It is also used by the Windows Installer 3.0 (and later) APIs that interrogate and catalog patches applied to a target machine.
Note • Patch metadata is stored directly in the patch (.msp) file and not in any of the .msi packages. The .msp file contents are not localizable. Therefore, string entries are not available for any of the metadata settings below.
