Hi

In Installshield 5 the setup wizard created a variable called UNINST_DISPLAY_NAME which held the string that was displayed in the Add/Remove Programs window.

Installshield 6 doesn't do this. Can anyone tell me how I set the displayed  string in the Add/Remove Programs window in Installshield 6.x.

Thanks

This is how I changed the display name in IS6.2:

RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
     sValue = "YourDisplayName";
     sKey ="SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\{YOURGUIDNUMBER}";  
     RegDBSetKeyValueEx(sKey, "DisplayName", REGDB_STRING, sValue, -1);

Hope this helps,
Carissa
