The Information property syntax has the following parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to a Package object.
index	An integer that specifies the information to return or set in the current package.

Settings

The settings for index are:

apCompanyEmail	The electronic mail address of the company or organization that created the package file.
apCompanyURL	The URL for the company or organization that created the package file.
apProductName	The name of the product being updated.
apProductVersion	The version of the product being updated. Note that unlike the numeric package version, this may contain any numbers, letters or symbols and is used for display purposes only.
apProductBuild	The build number for the product being updated.
apProductURL	The URL for the product being updated. Unlike the company URL, this would typically provide the URL for information specific to the product.
apProductKey	The registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software where configuration information about the product is stored.
apProductDescription	A description of the product being updated.
apProductCopyright	The copyright message for the product being updated.

apProductLicense	Licensing information for the product being updated.

Remarks

The information stored in the package is for application specific or user display purposes. It is not required that any of these values be set. Only the apProductKey value is checked during the process of applying the package, and is used to attempt to determine the default installation directory if one has not been explicitly specified by the application.
