Further to @Stefan answer, here's a mapping of Wix items to msi details properties. have not found a way to set "category" property at all.

That information is set in the <Package> element, for example:

<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'>
  <Product
  UpgradeCode="SOMEGUID-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"  
  Name='MyApp' 
  Id='????????-????-????-????-????????????'
  Language='1033' 
  Codepage='1252' 
  Version='1.0.0' 
  Manufacturer='MyCompany'>
    <Package
    Id="*"
    Keywords="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3"
    Description="summary of application"
    Comments="some comments"
    Manufacturer="mycompany"
    InstallerVersion="300"
    Languages="1033"
    Compressed="yes"
    SummaryCodepage="1252"/>

Another way to set the summary info of an MSI is by using Msiinfo.exe utility. We use this in our build system to set some of the values that could not be set while generating the MSI file (in a post build step).

If you need to set the information after creating the MSI you can also edit the summary information using Orca from the Windows SDK. To install it, first install the Windows SDK then install Orca from the MSI file at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\orca.msi . Set the information through View -> Summary Information... .
