Publisher name in Installscript MSI project
Hi,
We have created InstallScript MSI projects, all the projects have English, French and German as Setup Languages; and English as default language.Under General Information tab we filled our Company name(say XYZ) in Publisher field.
While running the setup if we select English as a language , we can see XYZ as a Publisher name in Control panel. But if we select French or German we have seen some odd names in Publisher column in control panel > programs and features, so we changed the names to XZY in String Editor for COMPANY_NAME Identifier , so now if we select any language we can see XZY as a publisher name in control panel > programs and features for fresh installation which is working as expected now.
But main problem is while upgrade, before changing the COMPANY_NAME Identifier we have already deployed our setup in few production systems with German language , here it is showing (say "Ihr Firmenname") as Publisher name in control panel > programs and features, when we upgrade to our latest setup , publisher name is not getting changed to XZY in control panel > programs and features, it is still showing "Ihr Firmenname".
Please help us in changing the publisher name while upgrade.
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
We are setting the registry value in OnResumeUIBefore() function
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
RegDBSetKeyValueEx("SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\{#GUID#}", "Publisher", REGDB_STRING, "XYZ", -1);
But still publisher name is not getting changed to XZY in control panel > programs and features, it is still showing "Ihr Firmenname" after upgrade
