I wrote an application in C# for the .NET Compact Framework and when I
deploy the program, the Remove programs entry says 'My Company' - 'App
Title'. What attribute or settings do I need to change to make this say my
name? I tried changing parameters in the Assembly.cs file, but that did not
affect it.

Thanks,
 
This setting is found in the INF file which is used to generate the
installation CAB files. Locate the file
[your project]/obj/Release/ProjectName_PPC.inf
and open it in Notepad or similar.
Near the top of the file you'll find an entry for Provider which is
hard-coded to My Company. Change this and then run the batch file
BuildCab.bat in the same folder this will rebuild the cab files with the
correct entry.

Look into the *.inf file in your Debug/Release directory.

Edit the [Version] and [CEStrings] sections of the file.

Rebuild cabs executing BuildCab.bat.

Look inside the obj directory for a file called <projectname>.inf
Open it and edit the lines that start with Provider= and AppName=

WARNING!!! Every time you click Build Cabs toolbar button this file is
overwritten. To avoid losing you changes whem you need to rebuild the cabs
simply re-run obj\BuildCab.bat
 
These are set by the build INF file. There's a lot of info on the web on
the contents of the INF files.
