Conversation
The Step 6 "Update setting" table used the column header "Elements", but three of the four rows (HoursBetweenUpdateChecks, UpdateBlocksActivation, ShowPrompt) are XML attributes and only ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion is a true element. Rename the header to "Setting", which matches the section title and accurately describes every row. Reported via GitHub issue MicrosoftDocs#334.

Resolves a reported documentation confusion on the Create an App Installer file manually page.
What & why
In Step 6 (Add Update setting), the table column header was "Elements", but the rows are a mix of XML attributes and one element:
HoursBetweenUpdateChecks,UpdateBlocksActivation,ShowPrompt— attributes of<OnLaunch>ForceUpdateFromAnyVersion— the only true elementLabeling the column "Elements" is misleading (XML jargon that doesn't match the contents). This renames the header to "Setting", which matches the section title ("Update setting" /
<UpdateSettings>) and accurately describes every row.Reported via GitHub issue #334.

This edits the same file as PR #492, but a different, non-overlapping region (Step 6 vs. the overview example / Steps 7–8), so the two can merge in either order.
