[wix-users] Package.InstallerVersion allowable values

[Edwin Castro]

InstallerVersion shows up in the Summary Information stream. See Page Count
in
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/adding-summary-information

The Page Count Summary property is documented here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/page-count-summary

"For a minimum of Windows Installer 3.1, this property must be set to 301."

Here are the released versions of the Windows Installer:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/released-versions-of-windows-installer

It says Windows XP with Service Pack 3 shipped with Windows Installer 3.1
(version 3.1.4001.5512).
