[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
This is the Property property of the MsiSummaryInfo object. This property sets or gets the value for the specified property in the summary information stream. The properties are read when the MsiSummaryInfo object is created, but they are not written until the Persist method is called. Setting a property to Empty causes its removal; likewise, requesting a non-existent property returns an Empty value. Otherwise values may be transferred as strings, integers, or date (date time) types.
