what is Restricted public property in msi?
In the link http://applicationpackagingtraining.com/Application-Packaging-Real-Time-Interview-Questions-and-Answers.htm
The property types are mentioned as
Properties are global variables that the Microsoft Windows Installer uses during an installation.
Private: The installer can be use only internally (values can’t be changed during the run time).
Manufacture, ProductCode, ProductID, ProductName, ProductVersion ……
Public: The installer can be uses both internally & externally (values can be changed during the run time also).
INSTALLLEVEL, ….
Restricted Public: The user can’t change the value both internally & externally due to security purposes. ALLUSERS, REBOOT, REINSTALLMODE …
But I think ALLUSERS and REBOOT can also be passed through command line, then it should be public peroperties.
Could you please explain what is the Restricted Public property exactly.

I've changed tags as this question is related to the Windows Installer (MSI) engine.
Good explanation is on MSI vendor's website :)

You should probably avoid "training" documentation which contains corkers like the nonsense above, or this:
There's so much more I could have picked out but...just avoid.49. What is the difference between “Deferred in System Context / Deferred in User Context”?
Ø If the Custom action which installs or modify a file under the INSTALLDIR or Installation should be run in “Deferred in User Context”.
Ø If the Custom action which installs or modify the system file directly should be run in “Deferred Execution in System Context”.
