I just posted a VBScript that displays all properties from an MSI file at http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/reading-an-msi-setup-with-vbscript

Example of usage:
Function TestScript()
ListBoxProperty = Session.Property("LISTBOXPROPERTY")
VersionNT = Session.Property("VersionNT")
Version9x = Session.Property("Version9X")
Password = Session.Property("PASSWORD")
NotePad = Session.Property("NOTEPADEXE")
MsgBox ("List Box: " & ListBoxProperty & vbCrlf _
& "VersionNT: " & VersionNT & vbCrlf _
& "Version9X: " & Version9x & vbCrlf _
& "Password: " & Password & vbCrlf _
& "Notepad: " & NotePad)
Session.Property("LISTBOXPROPERTY") = "GOODBYE"
End Function

It looks like the session object is declared outside this function making this a bit incomplete as reference ;) - bkelly 11 years ago

you can use properties by adding it to command line during creating a vbscript.

Get the Platform SDK. In there (admittedly buried pretty deep) will be the Windows Installer SDK. In there, you'll find sample scripts for handling MSIs.
The tables, including the Property table, can be queried using standard SQL syntax.
