Custom installer, cabwiz, msi

[Jeff]

Hi,

I've successfully created an .msi file containing a CAB file to deploy my
mobile application to a Pocket PC through ActiveSync. My application is
called MyTestApp. When the dialog comes up asking to install the
application, it reads "Install My Company MyTestApp". How do I change "My
Company" to my company's name? I've looked through all the properties and
have not found "My Company" anywhere which makes me think that it is a
default if something is not explicitly defined. I know it's a silly issue,
but it's driving me nuts!

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Tim. I changed the .inf file and still got the same result. I even
tried removing the .inf file from the solution and adding it back thinking
it may be cached somehow. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

In relation to "Install My Company MyTestApp", are you talking about the msi
wizard dialog or the actual installation dialog on the device?

The wizard dialog on the PC that brings up CEAppManager.

After modifying your INF File, I assume you are running the BuildCab File
within your applications's obj/Release or Obj/Debug Directory.
If after doing this, you use the BuildCab within Visual Studio, it will
overwrite any changes you made to the INF file and you will again need to
change the MyCompany to whatver name you desire.

So if it's your msi installation wizard then you should be able to edit the
company and application name through the properties for your setup project
using the properties window. Anything else should come from either the CAB
or the ini that you hand to app manager.
