Solution

  • The properties in the details is known as the SummaryInformationStream and can be set via various attributes on the Package element. In this case it's the Comments attribute.

    Please note that this field is not the actual version of the MSI. That will always be the ProductVersion property as set by the Product element's Version attribute.
