Add/Remove Programs Listing

Postby seanmckenna » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:42 am

In the visual view, It seems that you can't control the title that gets listed in Add/Remove Programs. Mine seems to end up using the Product Name.

I would rather have it be <CompanyName> <ProductName> <Version>. Is it possible to change this, or is it always using just product name?

One more question. The size that is listed here, how is that calculated? I just noticed that on my dev machine, my program is listed as 6,000 MB, when it should only be around 150MB.

Windows Installer internally calculates the size - tends to go wild with a lot of repeated install/uninstalls on the same machine. You can write to a registry key to record your own custom size (there should be other posts on the forum about that).

The product name that goes into ARP is always the value of $TITLE$.
