On the Product tab in Setup Editor, you set and edit the following information for an
installation:
Summary
Use the Summary icon to set the value of a summary item. End users can see the
summary information by right-clicking the compiled .MSI or .EXE in Windows Explorer
and selecting Properties.
See Specifying Summary Information on page 383.
Properties
Use the Properties icon to add, edit, and delete properties in an installation. Properties
are variables that are initialized by the installation and are used by Windows Installer.
The property values can change during runtime. Some of the properties that appear are
required Windows Installer properties, so use caution in editing or deleting them.

Launch Conditions
Use the Launch Conditions icon to create new launch conditions and edit existing launch
conditions. Launch conditions are system requirements that must be met on the
destination computer for the installation to proceed. See Setting a Requirement by
Creating a Launch Condition on page 168.
Specifying Summary Information
Use the Summary icon to set the value of a summary item. End users can see the
summary information by right-clicking the compiled .MSI or .EXE in Windows Explorer
and selecting Properties.
For information on summary items, see Summary Property Descriptions in the Windows
Installer SDK Help.
You can use the Release Settings page to override the value of an existing summary
item or edit customized summary items. See Customizing Summary Items for a Release
on page 184.
To view all available summary items, click the Summary icon in the left pane on the
Product tab. A list of summary items appears in the upper right pane, and you can edit
an item by changing its value. You cannot create or delete summary items, because they
are defined by Windows Installer.
