My goal is to take an msi and find out what properties I can pass it on the command line when I run msiexec. I see a number of entries from the log when I install it that look like the following:
MSI (s) (D8:D0) [17:07:48:626]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding BIN property. Its value is 'redacted'. MSI (s) (D8:D0) [17:07:48:626]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding CONFIGS property. Its value is 'redacted'. MSI (s) (D8:D0) [17:07:48:626]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding INSTALLDIR property. Its value is 'redacted'. MSI (s) (D8:D0) [17:07:48:626]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding TARGETDIR property. Its value is 'redacted'. MSI (s) (D8:D0) [17:07:48:626]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding CURRENTDIRECTORY property. Its value is 'redacted'. Are these the properties?
