This property is updated after the Apply method has been used to apply a package on the local system. A value of zero indicates that the package was not successfully applied, while a non-zero value indicates success. The actual property value may be one or more of the following values:

apApplyCompleted	The package application process has completed successfully.
apApplyDelayed	The package application completed, however one or more files were in use. The system should be restarted to complete the update process.

Package1.Apply strInstallPath

' The Applied property returns zero if the package has not been
' applied, or a non-zero value if it has been applied; in this
' case, the actual value is a combination of bit flags which
' provide additional status information
