What is " Windows Installer database schema"?

Quote

Use a Windows Installer database schema of 200 or higher. Specify that version 2.0 is the minimum version of the installer required to install the package by setting the Page Count Summary property to the integer 200. Earlier Windows Installer versions reject attempts to install 64-bit packages. For 64-bit packages on the Arm64 platform, the Windows Installer database schema must be 500 or higher.

Windows Installer database schema is minimum Windows Installer version that is required by your installation package. For a windows installer 2.0, schema value is 200. For windows installer 5.0, schema value should be 500.

If user's system has Windows installer version earlier than the specified in installer, it will display the error and exits.
