Hi guys, I need change ProgramName in runtime to distinguishable instances in "Add or Remove Programs".
I added new editor in "General Information" dialog, linked it to ProgramName property. Also I added the same property to all instances with some static values.
Then I run installation, change ProgramName value in "General Information" dialog. Install, go to the "Add Remove Programs". Installed application registered with static pre-defined static name, not with name I've entered in a runtime.
So, what I should to to have application installed with name, entered in a runtime?

PS
InstallShield2009 Professional, Basic MSI project.

You can't use properties there. Are you using instance transforms? Or product configurations? Or do you manually change the product name for each build?

If using product configurations: you can specify a product name and product code for each configuration. These will override the default settings. You can also specify flags to filter features. This would enable you to create for example a "Professional" and a "Standard" version of your product from the same InstallShield project.
