MSI Data Tokens

The following tokens are available in the MSI_DATA branch for assembling MSI files after an application is built:

These tokens allow the assembled MSI installation data/behaviors to be customized. These tokens apply to both the .NET and GUI MSI installation files, unless specifically indicated within the token descriptions.

The token OPT.PRODUCTCODEPAGE is default to blank, and it will obtain the platform codepage. For example, if MSI is assembled on Arabic Windows and OPT.PRODUCTCODEPAGE is empty, the Build Tool script obtains the Arabic default codepage 1256 from the system.

Note: During processing, the specified codepage is verified against some string data in WiX. If the WiX source contains characters different from what the codepage specifies, the script generates an error message and stops further processing.
