HOWTO: Changing the Uninstall Name Displayed in the Add/Remove Programs Applet
InstallShield for Windows Installer uses the Product Name for the uninstall name. To change the Product Name, do the following:
Click on the Product Properties node in the Project tree.
Change the Product Name in the property sheet.

BUT I would like to set the name using e.g. MsiSetProperty(hMSI,"ProductName", "Fido");
Using this I can set the Productname in the captionbar etc. - but NOT in the Add/Remove Window!??!??!?!
I'm using release flags to generate different installation programs for different (similar) programs - with different names!

Set m_ISWiProject = CreateObject("ISWiAutomation.ISWiProject")
strFile = "D:\DEVELOP\WISETUP\\FIDO.ism"
m_ISWiProject.OpenProject strFile
m_ISWiProject.ProductName = "This works"

Go to (6) Prepare for Distribution
Click Releases
Select the Product Configuration you want to modify
Enter the Product Name on the right panel.
You can have several product configurations, each with a different product name, product code, and configuration flags (to include/exclude features from the build)
This requires IPWI 2.x, not available in ISWI 1.x

( I would like to do that because my ProductName is "versioned" and i read the version in a .h file when i build the setup. So i can't specify Name in the IDE)

I overwrite with a Deffered CA the Registry key
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode}\DisplayName" and it works good.
hope that helps.
