I need to change the product name that is displayed in the add/remove dialog.
I can do it by changing product name in the installer but i then all dialogs get changed as well.
does anyone know how to just change the add/remove string. I need it to display company name then product e.g ABC my product.
I had asked this question a while back on the installshield site: http://community.ins...threadid=128162
and someone "David Lock" stated that it may not be doable in ISDEV8 and that I would need to create another property and have the dialogs reference this another property.
Is it possible to do this with an easier less cubersome solution.

You could create a CA that sets this property (ProductName) to the name for ARP dialog, and schedule it before InstallInitialize in the execute sequence.
Most dialogs should be OK, only a few are shown during execute (eg. the dialog that urges you to close programs). Create another CA that sets ProductName to the original name, and schedule it after InstallFinalize.

Zweitze I tried your suggestions but no luck I still see the Original Product name "ABC my product" instead of "my product" in all of the setup screens.

Actually, that worked for me. The trick is that you have to have the CA in BOTH the "User Interface" and "Execute" sequences:
User Interface: After CostFiinalize
Execute: Before InstallInitialize
The "User Interface" sequence handles the dialogs, and the "Execute" sequence handles the "Add/Remove Programs" setting.

The uninstall string is in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Find the GUID for your product and change the DisplayName value. You could write a CA that changes this registry values. I don't know exactly when this value is written by setup though.
