Attributes
Bitness (BitnessTypeUnion) : This attribute facilitates the installation of packages that install both 32-bit and 64-bit files. Set this attribute to 'always32' force the software id tag to a 32-bit location (such as "ProgramFilesFolder") or 'always64' to force the tag to be installed to a 64-bit location (such as "ProgramFiles64Folder").
The default value is default where the tag will be installed to the directory that matches the
same bitness as the package.
This attribute is only allowed on a SoftwareTag element found under a Package element.
Feature (String) : Optional attribute to explicitly set the Feature when defining the software id tag in a Package. By default the software id tag will always be installed by a top-level hidden feature. It is recommended to not set this attribute.
InstallDirectory (String) : A reference to an existing Directory/@Id where the software is installed. The SWID tag file will be installed in a "swidtag" folder under that directory as per the specification. This attribute is required on a SoftwareTag element found under a Package element.
InstallPath (String) : The path where the software is installed. The SWID tag file will be installed in a "swidtag" folder. This is a formatted attribute so it is possible to use Variables as the InstallPath by setting the value to, for example, "[ProgramFilesFolder]CompanyName\Product Name". This attribute is required on a SoftwareTag element found under a Bundle element.
Name (String) : Name to use in the filename for the software id tag. By default the filename uses the Bundle/@Name or Package/@Name. If the bundle name or package name contains invalid filename characters such as ":" or "?", use this attribute to provide a valid filename.
Regid (String, required) : The regid for the software manufacturer. A regid is a URI simplified for the common case. Namely, if the scheme is "http://", it can be removed. Additionally, the domain should be minimized as much as possible (for example, remove "www." prefix if unnecessary).
For example, the WiX toolset regid is "wixtoolset.org".
