Return additional information about the file.

Syntax

object.Flags

The object is an expression that evaluates to a PackageFile object. The return value is a combination of one or more bit flags which represent a specific attribute. The following flags are used:

Constant	Description
apFileVersionInfo	The file is a 32-bit executable module or library which contains version information.
apFileShared	The file is shared between multiple applications. This file may be locked at the time that the package update is applied, and a reference count is maintained in the system registry to keep track of how many applications share the file.
apFileRegister	The file is a self-registering ActiveX control or COM object. When the package update is applied, the file will be automatically registered.
apFileSigned	The file has been digitally signed using Microsoft's AuthentiCode.

Remarks

The Flags property returns additional information about the file stored in the package. For example, it can be used to determine if a particular file contains version information.

Example

'
' Determine if the first file in the package has version
' information available
'
If (Package1.Files(0).Flags And apFileVersionInfo) = 0 Then
    ' The file is not read-only
End If
