Hi everyone,
I just could not find anything related to it.
What is the maximum allowed length that can be passed to SecureCustomProperties? I mean what if I pass some 50 property names to it?

As far as I know there's no fixed limit.

I don't know the limit either, but I assume that since an MSI file is really a SQL database wrapped in a COM structured storage file that the limitation would be imposed by the field limitations of SQL databases for whatever data type the field uses - which in this case would seem to be string. Exactly what that limit would be I don't know, but I am guessing at least 8000 characters.

What I found on MSDN is
So, you are right. MSI does not impose any limitation on size of any column of any table. But tools like InstallShield, InstallAware, WISE or may be WIX too impose such limitations.

The size specifications at that link relate to exported idt files (tables stored as files). I would still think the actual database under the hood will have a max value allowed, but it is probably way larger than you would ever be able to fill up.
