Per Eric V. Smith's comment issue1104 (msg134976) the return value of the call MsiSummaryInfoGetProperty() in summary_getproperty() (pc\_msi.c) is only checked for the error return ERROR_MORE_DATA.

Other error values should be checked.

I have added tests to the patch - but it's not easy to know what would cause an error in MsiSummaryInfoGetProperty which would trigger the new code.

The code change to _msi.c is minimal, the bulk of the patch is additional test code.  I think we could still use this.  Thoughts?

See also #1104.

This issue needs to be fixed. Passing an invalid value to SummaryInformation.GetProperty() will cause the first MsiSummaryInfoGetProperty() call to fail. As the call is not properly checked, the "type" variable will then be used uninitialized in summary_getproperty().
