Hi,

How to set the product information stored in Control Panel Dynamically.

Eg : My application name in PROJECT ASSISTANT Window is "ABC", Company Name is "ABC" and Version is "1.0.50". After installing this i got an entry in Control Panel -->Add Or Remove Programs with name "ABC". But as per the requirement i need to change the value in Control panel dynamically based on some conditions
like :-
if productkey == 1 then
"ABC"
else if productkey == 1 then
"DEF"
else
"GHIJ"
endig

Please suggest me solution.

Hi

You can change the registry entry for your product
By setting the display name for your product

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\your_productname]

"DisplayName"="Your Product Name"

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your support. i tried the way which you told. Its working for all other than "DisplayName". I can change the Version, support info etc.. but if i change the DisplayName its not working.

Hi

Please try this code

UNINSTALL_DISPLAYNAME = "Your_Product name";
(Or)
RegDBSetItem ( nItem, szValue );


Thanks

I'm using the following code to set some text to the control panel's information pane:

  // Set sKey to be the uninstall key for this product
  sKey = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\" + PRODUCT_GUID;
  nDefRoot = RegDBGetDefaultRoot(); 
  RegDBSetDefaultRoot( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE );

  // Set the InstallLocation value in the uninstall key. 
  RegDBSetKeyValueEx( sKey, "InstallLocation" , REGDB_STRING, TARGETDIR, -1 ); 
  // Icon File für Display unter W2K und XP setzen (ControlPanel->AddRemove Applikations)
  RegDBSetKeyValueEx( sKey, "DisplayIcon" , REGDB_STRING, TARGETDIR^BS_ICO_FILE, -1 ); 
  //Set the Support URL 
  RegDBSetKeyValueEx( sKey, "HelpLink" , REGDB_STRING_EXPAND, COMPANY_URL, -1 ); 
  //Set the Support Email
  RegDBSetKeyValueEx( sKey, "Contact" , REGDB_STRING_EXPAND, COMPANY_EMAIL, -1 ); 
   
  RegDBSetDefaultRoot( nDefRoot );
