Hi,

In the "Remove programs" list, I have noticed that the name of my
application is shown with "My Company" before the name of the app. The
question is: How can i remove / change this text??

I have heard about changing it in the assembly file, but i've done this, and
i get exactly the same result... Is a bug out there? Maybe i'm doing
something wrong??

Thanks in advance,

Maurice.
 
You can change this in the propertyr window of the MSI file you have created
for installing you software.

Maurice,

Change the settings in the project inf file (located in the obj\release
folder).

If you open up the inf, you'll find the section with "Provider" in the
[Version] block. Change the company here.

Save and rebuild!

Hope that helps.

Make sure you rebuild using the BAT file in the same directory. Using the
UI to regen the cabs will wipe out your changes.

BTW: How does one create an installer that will ask you to remove the
previous version?

We are creating MSIs, with Visual Studio, but we are admitted neophytes with
MSIs. The problem
we have is that we have to manually use Settings->Remove Programs and remove
the old copy before
installing the new version.
