More Information
New features in Windows Installer 3.1
New minor UpdateTargetRTMProperty property: Patch files can now target both the original release baseline and the latest service-pack-level baseline that is on the system.
New MsiSetExternalUIRecord API:Packages that use an external user interface can now receive messages as records instead of receiving the messages as strings.
New x64 and Msix64 properties: Packages can now use the x64 and Msix64 properties to indicate x64 processor-based operating system support.
New MsiNotifySidChange API: You can use this API to upgrade the Windows Installer configuration if the security identifier (SID) of a user changes.
Flyweight patching is now an opt-in behavior: Windows Installer 3.0 introduced new 'flyweight patching' functionality. By default, this functionality was enabled for all patches.
