When the **Use embedded cab** switch is disabled a **.CAB** file will be outside the **.MSI** (external CAB). It is a compressed source (opposed to "Loose files" = uncompressed source). Yes
Parse ini files to the IniFile table This option indicates the mode to parse ini files. When the **Parse ini files to the IniFile table** switch is enabled, the ini files will be added via an IniFile table. It is the best practice to add ini files via IniFile table because these files may contain hard-coded values, which in this case can be replaced with MSI properties. When the **Parse ini files to the IniFile table** switch is disabled, the ini files will be added via an File table. No
Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables This setting allows identifying objects and to add them to the appropriate tables. When the **Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables** switch is enabled, all COM objects will be mapped to MSI via special tables designed for these objects (ProgID, Classes, etc.). It is a better way of COM objects registration according to Microsoft's best practices and helps easily navigate and manage these objects through MSI. When the **Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables** switch is disabled all COM objects will be added to MSI via Registry table and installed as regular registry keys. No
Post process MSI filesystem & components This setting sets the File Table entries for the Language and Version fields. [Learn more](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/file-versioning-rules?redirectedfrom=MSDN). Yes
Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent A system folder is used by other programs. If the package contains some System folder files, they can be removed from the system during uninstallation. So, it will affect other programs that use these files. When the **Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent** switch is enabled, the files will be marked as permanent and won’t be removed after the package uninstalling. When the **Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent** switch is disabled, the files will be deleted after the package uninstalling. Yes
Use Duplicate File table for user files installation Some files (.DLL, .OCX, etc.) that are installed in the Common Files folder is used by other programs. If the package contains some of these files they can be removed from the system during uninstallation. So, this affects other programs that use these files. When the **Use Duplicate File table for user files installation** switch is enabled, the files mark as shared. Every time when such files are installed in this folder, a counter is incremented. This counter shows how many programs use this file. When the package tries to remove this file, the counter is decremented. When this counter equals 0 this file removes from the system. Yes

Files & Registry settings
**Setting** **Details** **Default value**
Cab archive name pattern This setting indicates the filename template for naming **.CAB** files. Cab files contain files that will be installed by MSI package. Data{0}.cab
Max cab file size (in MB) These settings indicate the number of files that will be placed in a single cab file. If the size of one cab file is bigger than the provided value, it will be divided to several cab files. 2048
Max files count per cab 9999
Use embedded cab This setting sets the mode to use an embedded file. When the **Use embedded cab** switch is enabled, a **.CAB** file will be implemented into **.MSI**. When the **Use embedded cab** switch is disabled, a **.CAB** file will be outside the **.MSI** (external CAB). It is a compressed source (opposed to "Loose files" = uncompressed source). Yes
Parse ini files to the IniFile table This option indicates the mode to parse ini files. When the **Parse ini files to the IniFile table** switch is enabled, the ini files will be added via an IniFile table. It is the best practice to add ini files via IniFile table because these files may contain hard-coded values which in this case can be replaced with MSI properties. When the **Parse ini files to the IniFile table** switch is disabled, the ini files will be added via an File table. No
Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables This setting allows to identify objects and to add them to the appropriate tables. When the **Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables** switch is enabled, all COM objects will be mapped to MSI via special tables designed for these objects (ProgID, Classes, etc.). It is a better way of COM objects registration according to Microsoft's best practices and helps easily navigate and manage these objects through MSI. When the **Map registry data to the appropriate COM tables** switch is disabled, all COM objects will be added to MSI via Registry table and installed as regular registry keys. No
Post process MSI filesystem & components This setting sets the File Table entries for the Language and Version fields. [Learn more](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/file-versioning-rules?redirectedfrom=MSDN). Yes
Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent A system folder is used by other programs. If the package contains some System folder files, they can be removed from the system during uninstallation. So, it will affect other programs that use these files. When the **Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent** switch is enabled, the files will be marked as permanent and won’t be removed after the package uninstalling. When the **Mark components destined for the System folder as permanent** switch is disabled, the files will be deleted after the package uninstalling. Yes
Use Duplicate File table for user files installation Some files (.DLL, .OCX, etc.) that are installed in the Common Files folder is used by other programs. If the package contains some of these files they can be removed from the system during uninstallation. So, this affects other programs that use these files. When the **Use Duplicate File table for user files installation** switch is enabled, the files mark as shared. Every time when such files are installed in this folder, a counter is incremented. This counter shows how many programs use this file. When the package tries to remove this file, the counter is decremented. When this counter equals 0 this file removes from the system. Yes
