Variable in Product Name

Postby andre » Fri Apr 10, 2020 1:45 am

Hello,
I'm using the latest version of IA11 as a registered user and I have a question about the "product name" project property.

In fact, my setup is mandatory launched with a parameter and this parameter allows me to set the product name value, so in the "product name" property, I have something like :

Code: Select all

Product Name: $MY_PRODUCTNAME$


The perfect thing is that when the wizard is displayed (and everywhere it is used), the product name is well replaced with the value of my variable, but I have a problem with the Control Panel of Windows: in the applications list, my application has not the name of my variable but the name of my application is $MY_PRODUCTNAME$ which is a problem for the users.

Do you think it would be possible to change the name in the applications list ?

Thank you for your answers.

Best regards,
Andre

You cannot set the Product Name at setup runtime. This must be assigned at Build Time.

You may eventually use a compiler variable to set the Product Name, but this can be done exclusively at BUILD time in any case.
