May I seperate the connection of the generated .msi file and PRODUCTNAME property?

i have made a basic msi project and want to customize the file name of the generated .msi package. But i found that there is a connection between the PRODUCTNAME property and the result of the build. May i break that connection between the two?
for example: i want my msi package with a name like "testit.msi" and my PRODUCTNAME property with "Hello Soft" to displayed in "Add/Remove Programs"

In the Releases view, when you select a product configuration, one of the fields that displayed in the grid on the right is called MSI Package File Name. You can enter testit in that field, or whatever you want to be used for the name of your .msi package.

If you enter anything in that field, InstallShield uses it for your .msi file name. If you leave it blank (which is the default), InstallShield uses the product name.

I hope that helps.
