Change publisher name for Setup Project visual Studio
How do I change the publisher name for the visual studio installer in visual studio 2015? I want to be able to display the correct publisher name in Programs and features section of control panel when its install.
Manufacturer Property: I only have access to the 2017 version. However, in Visual Studio, when you left click the installer project in "Solution Explorer", is there not a properties list that includes the property "Manufacturer"? Please try to change the name there.
UAC Prompt: In order to change the name which shows up in the UAC pop-up dialog to elevate rights for the installation, you need to sign your package with an appropriate certificate. Is it possible to define a Windows Installer-uninstaller filename? (also check the links).
UPDATE: Even signed MSI packages can show up with a dodgy name in the UAC prompt. Here is a description of how to avoid this by proper signing procedure.
