[issue29633] MSI installer does not pass values as SecureProperty from UI

We can close it. bdist_msi isn't recommended for any reason, and cx_Freeze 
isn't ours.

Steve, etc., is this of any current relevance or should it be closed?

[issue29633] MSI installer does not pass values as SecureProperty from UI

[aldehoff]

New submission from aldehoff:

This is a revival of issue 1298962 (http://bugs.python.org/issue1298962) from 
2009. I can reproduce the problem with an MSI created by cx_Freeze and 
bdist_msi on a Windows 7 64bit system in a company domain. Python is at version 
3.6.0, cx_Freeze is at 5.0.1. I am a user with elevated user rights but not an 
admin. When installing the MSI, the files are always copied to C:\, whether I 
have changed the installation directory in GUI or stuck to the default path 
'C:\Program Files (x86)\foo'. The program is executable and runs fine. The 
Uninstaller removes all files without a trace.

Following the suggestions from issue 1298962 I have modified the MSI tables in 
Orca by adding a new Property entry with key 'SecureCustomProperties' and value 
'TARGETDIR' fixes the MSI. It now installs into the desired directory. I can 
reproduce this on multiple builds.
