Changing title added to Add/Remove Programs prior to install

I have a "branded" InstallAware project that reads information from a "brand file" during initialization and configures the install based on the brand. Items like $TITLE$ and $TARGETDIR$ are easily set before the install begins. So a single installer installs the same product, yet the install may be branded any way we want it to be.

The one thing I have not figured out how to change is the entry that is created in Add/Remove Programs. Does anyone know how I can do that via script? I'm using IA9 R2.

Thanks

Dear User,

I suggest you to have a look at the sample available with the following link;
http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8927

The title used in Add/Remove Programs, is resolved at BUILD TIME and not at Runtime ... and more precisely, this is hold by the TITLE Pre-defined COMPILER Variable ( ... not the TITLE Pre-Defined script variable).

Hope this helps you.

Regards
