Remarks

The Security summary information property conveys whether the package should be opened as read-only. The database editing tool should not modify a read-only enforced database and should issue a warning at attempts to modify a read-only recommended database. The following values of this property are applicable to Windows Installer files:

  • 0 - no restriction
  • 2 - read only recommended
  • 4 - read only enforced

This property should be set to read-only recommended (2) for an installation database and to read-only enforced (4) for a transform or patch.
