WiX Package "Comments" and "Keywords"

It’s a little difficult for me to understand the essence of the presence of the “Comments” and “Keywords” attributes using the “Package” element. The WiX homepage simply says “Optional comments for viewing” and “Additional keywords for viewing.” Not too helpful. Are they used in ARP or just in detail for MSI, when are they done or what? Thanks for the information!

These attributes appear in the summary information flow in the Windows Installer.

Basically, it just provides a little extra metadata to the end user / system administrator when they right-click | properties in MSI or if they catalog it using an automated tool.

MSDN offers "correct" values, but there really isn’t such a thing, and it doesn’t really matter and is not involved in ARP / programs and functions.
