Advanced Value Lookup

The Advanced Value Lookup feature in the Master Packager Table Editor helps you understand and navigate complex MSI data by showing contextual information for column values. Instead of searching externally, this feature gives you instant insight into referenced keys, paths, and types.

CustomActions table, TYPE column

In the CustomAction table, the Type column uses numeric values that represent specific action types.

Master Packager displays:

  • The type value
  • The corresponding custom action type name

This makes it easier to identify what the custom action does without needing to decode the number manually.
