GLOSSARY
All Tables View
There are two main ways in which you can view information in a database, and these are represented as tab pages. All Tables view represents the view in which you can modify the database tables directly.
Foreign Machine
When repackaging by monitor or snapshot, the changes to be made can either be detected on the local machine, (the machine that is running MSI Studio), or a foreign machine which has no client software installed on it. This term relates to a non-local machine on which you install the application to be packaged.
ICE33
The ICE33 error posts warnings for any entries that register Classes, Filename Extensions, ProgIDs, Shell Verbs, Remote Server AppIDs, MIME types, or Typelibs. These entries should be moved to their respective tables if you have a policy where you use install-on-demand and/or advertisement. If you do not then it is not necessary to move these entries. There is a tool to fix ICE33 errors under Tools>Convert COM Entries. In most cases this tool will convert most entries. However, some might not belong to the package so you might need to convert these yourself or remove them.
Installation Database
This is a file with the extension .msi and is a Windows Installer database file. The Windows Installer service runs this file type.
IQ View
There are two main ways in which you can view information in a database, and these are represented as tab pages. IQ Views is the main UI which allows you to change entities in the database easily.
TARGETDIR
This is a property that represents the root destination directory of the installation. If the target directory is undefined then the ROOTDRIVE property is used to resolve the path.
