Where can I find the ARPCOMMENTS through the Visual Studio GUI?


Where can I find the ARPCOMMENTS through the Visual Studio GUI in a .NET solution with a setup project?

The value of ARPCOMMENTS shows up when "Click here for support information." is clicked in Control Panel "Add or Remove Programs". I have changed it once, but I forgot where it is.


Solution

  • It is confusing that the immediately apparent Properties from the context menu for a setup project will open a window with configuration options.

    Whereas selecting the setup project and pressing F4 (or menu ViewProperties Window) will open the desired window where property Description can be edited:

    (ARPCOMMENTS is the same as property Description - it is stored in the project file for the setup project, MascotParserSetup.vdproj in my case.)
