This vbs is meant to be run by windows installer. You can't just double
click it - windows installer defines 'Property' as a member of it's global
object. This is a feature of windows script hosts - they can register an
object to act as the set of 'globals' for the hosted script.

[WiX-users] Cannot run "The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer" sample
and "Variable is undefined: 'Property'
Hi all,
I am wonder whether anyone bought the book named "The Definitive Guide to
Windows Installer" and try to run GetARPLoc.vbs sample from Chapter 5 and
keep getting the "Variable is undefined: 'Property'". In the Charpter 5,
there is a vscript sample named GetARPLoc.vbs.
Here are the codes behind the GetARPLoc.vbs file.
option explicit
dim installer, msg
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
msg =
installer.ProductInfo("{B3E1B56E-D853-4780-BF62-47B95195CD6B}","InstallLocation")
Property("TARGETDIR")=msg
set installer=Nothing
msgbox msg
Since this is a VB script, I launch it by double clicking it. However, I
receive "Variable is undefined: 'Property'". Does anyone know how to
solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Kai
