Session.Mode property

  • Makale

This is the Mode property of the Session object. This property is a value representing the designated mode flag for the current install session. Most of the mode flags are read-only externally, but a few specified flags may be set as well.

The MsiGetMode function returns a Boolean TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether the specific property passed into the function is currently set (TRUE) or not set (FALSE).

Note that not all the run mode values of flag are available when calling the Mode property from a deferred custom action. For more information, see Obtaining Context Information for Deferred Execution Custom Actions.

This property is read-only.
