Page Count Summary Property (Windows)

Page Count Summary Property

Page Count Summary Property

The Page Count Summary property contains the minimum installer version required by the installation package. For a minimum of Windows Installer 2.0, this property must be set to the integer 200. For a minimum of Windows Installer 3.0, this property must be set to the integer 300. For a minimum of Windows Installer 3.1, this property must be set to 301. For a minimum of Windows Installer 4.5, this property must be set to 405. For a minimum of Windows Installer 5.0, this property must be set to 500.

For 64-bit Windows Installer Packages, this property must be set to the integer 200 or greater.

For a transform package, the Page Count Summary property contains the minimum installer version required to process the transform. Set to the greater of the two Page Count Summary property values that belong to the databases used to generate the transform.

For a patch package, the Page Count Summary property is set to Null.

This summary property is required.

This property can be used to author a package that can be installed only by the specified minimum or later version of the Windows Installer.

Requirements

Version	Windows Installer 5.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7. Windows Installer 4.0 or Windows Installer 4.5 on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista. Windows Installer on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000

The formula for the number to put into the Page Count summary property is major * 100 + minor. What may seem confusing is that for Windows Installer 1.1 this value is 110, but for Windows Installer 3.1 and 4.5 this is 301 and 405 respectively. If you look at what is reported by "msiexec.exe /?", you'll see 1.10 for Windows Installer 1.1 but 3.01 and 4.05 for Windows Installer 3.1 and 4.5 respectively. These are the major and minor version fields you must use and not those in the marketed name or the msi.dll file version.
