InstallerContactSite Map

In this page you can specify the name of the application and that of your company, as well as the default installation directory.

Product Name

The complete name of your application.

ImportantThe application name is restricted to a length of 40 characters. This is because applications are registered on the device with a specific name for uninstallation purposes, which is created by concatenating the company name and the application name. The format used is: <PROVIDER> <APPNAME>

TipYou can use the %AppName% macro in your project in order to refer to the application name. The substitution is performed at build time.

Company Name

The full name of your company.

ImportantThe company name is restricted to a length of 32 characters, for the same reason mentioned above.

TipYou can use the %Provider% macro in your project in order to refer to the company name. The substitution is performed at build time.

Application Folder

Do not allow user to select installation directory.

The user will not be prompted to select an installation volume (device dependent). Every file will be installed in the directory specified in the Files and Folders page.

Allow user to select installation directory.

The user will be prompted to select an installation volume (device dependent).

ImportantNote that not all devices support the “Do not allow user to select installation directory” option, so it is recommended that you use the second option. Conversely, in this case, the user is prompted to select the installation volume only if the device has more than one storage volume available.

TipThe default installation directory specification can include references to the company name and application name, by using the %Provider% and %AppName% macros, respectively. These will be resolved at build time to the values you have entered in this page.
