Hi @Sashikanta ,

Help me with few more details:

• What type of project you are using?-I could get it is basic msi project from the sample you had added here
  • If Basic MSI-Add the below code:

    function MyFunction(hMSI)
    // To Do: Declare local variables.
    STRING svName;
    begin
    MsiSetProperty(hMSI, "ProductName", "TrailProduct");
    // To Do: Write script that will be executed when MyFunction is called.

    end;

  • Since it is basic MSI project,you have to use hMSI as handle where if it is InstallScript project use ISMSI_HANDLE as MSI handle.
  • Add installscript custom action and add this function name as Function Name argument
  • Sequence it in initial phase:Here you can do Install Exec Sequence->After CostInitialize
• If it is InstallScript project steps will slightly vary like adding the above code in InstallScript events which you could find under InstallScript view
• Build and execute it will work(I had verified as well :-))

Thanks,

Jenifer
