VS2008 => Setup/Deployment => Setup Project => bug?

[Just D.]

All.

I added a Setup Project project to the solution. The main app is called
"Application" and the new Setup Project was called "ApplicationSetup". Then
I corrected the path, files, etc. Everything goes smoothly and it really
installs the app on the testing machine. The problem is that it installs
everything correctly including the app path, name, links, etc., but "Add
Remove Programs" gets the item called "ApplicationSetup" instead of
"Application". I can't change the main project name, it's regitered as a
Trade Mark. But is there any way to tell the standard VS2008 Setup Project
what name shold be used during the registration? The User's Program Menu,
Application Folder and User's Desktop all are having the right name
"Application".

I didn't find any way to correct the name to be registered on the client
machine. Is it a bug?

Thanks,
Just D.

Hello Just,

The setup project has its own ProductName and Title properties that you have
to set (they default to the project name, which is "ApplicationSetup" in
your case).

To modify them, make sure that the Properties pane is visible (press F4 to
invoke it) and select the ApplicationSetup node in your Solution Explorer.
Then you can edit ProductName and Title accordingly.

HTH,
