Setting the manufacturer in a VS 2008 Setup Project

Question

I have a windows setup project that installs a service. All works well except for one thing: The default directory offered to the user during install is of the form \"C:\\Progra

Answer 1

Click on your setup project in Visual Studio, open the Properties and you will notice that there are a number of Properties that you can set like Manufacturer, SupportURL, etc.

Answer 2

Note if you're confused/frustrated doing this seemingly trivial thing: if you open properties by right-clicking on the project and clicking "Properties" in the right-mouse menu, you will get the wrong dialog box. You need to select the project, but then navigate to the properties tag. One way to navigate to the properties tag is from the "View" menu, select "Properties Window".
