Project • This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI
Merge Module

Some of the Summary Information Stream settings are available in DIM projects. In this project type, the values in these settings are not displayed or used at run time. You can use these settings in this project type as a reference for internally identifying the project.

Windows Installer databases (.msi and .msm files) are implemented as COM structured storage, and COM structured storage files usually contain a Summary Information Stream. The Summary Information Stream contains information about your company and the software being installed. For more information, see Accessing the Summary Information Stream Panel to learn how to view your file’s summary information.

For a description of each Summary Information Stream setting, see General Information View.
