Is it possible to specify Publisher?
Is it possible to specify Publisher?
Hi, I have the same question.
In Add/Remove programs, under the entry for my app, created by the AI install, there is a link with text "Click here for support information"
Clicking this link brings up a post-it style box
In the box, there are various details including:
Publisher: <MY_COMPANY>
I'd like the Publisher field to not be displayed, or failing that, to be blank. Can you tell me if this is possible with AI?
Many thanks,
David.

Hi,
The Publisher field contains the value of the Manufacturer property. This property can be edited in AI in the "Product Details" page.
According to Microsoft documentation this property is required:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... cturer.asp
For this reason AI will not let you enter an empty value.
You could hack the MSI with Orca to obtain this result, although this is not recommended.
Go to the Property table and change the value of the Manufacturer property to " " (a string containing a space). You cannot leave the value empty since Windows Installer disallows this. Now the field will show blank.
If you delete the row the Publisher field will be removed completely from the Control Panel information. But, in this case, the validation of the MSI will fail, signaling the error: "The entry Manufacturer is required in the Property table".
Regards,
Mihai
