Anybody familiar with Ezsetup program?

I was able to make it work as my program installer to the
Pocket Pc. But there is something weird, everytime it
refers to my app to be installed it always put the
word "My Company" then the app name. For instance, my app
name is AngelLink but Ezsetup will say "Install 'My
Company AngelLink'"? How can I remove the word 'My
Company'?

in the inf file change MyCompnay to AngelLink as below

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
Provider="My Company"
CESignature="$Windows CE$"

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
Provider="AngelLink "
CESignature="$Windows CE$"

if my memory serves me correctly this works

That is what I do.. I would like to find out if there is a place within
Visual Studio that this "My Company" default can be set, so that I don't
need to change this each and every time I build a new version since whenever
you use the BuildCab, it resets to My Company.

There is a feature that I consider to be a bug in VS 2003. Every time you
use Build Cab command, it overwrites the .inf file with the default one,
which has .. correct.. My Company as the Manufacturer name.

Instead of clicking on Build Cabs run a batch file located in the <Project
Dir>\obj\<Configuration> called BuildCab.bat.
Edit the <Project Dir>\obj\<Configuration>\<Project Name><target>.inf (e.g.
MyApp_WCE.inf) to have correct values in
[Version]
Provider=

[CEStrings]
AppName=

[Shortcuts]
.....

So, the bottom line - do not use Build Cabs
After you rebuilt the project, simply re-run the abovementioned batch file
and your cabs and .ini file will be regenerated
