In the portion of installation screen where it says, this installer will guide you through the steps required to install ABC on your computer

I want this changed to this installer will guide you through the steps required to install XYZ on your computer

How can I change the word ABC to XYZ?

To change the name that appears on Welcome Screen, you would need to edit as follow.

Right click on Installer Project name > View > User Interface.

From there, edit the properties of Welcome under Start.

Follow these steps to change your application's name:

  1. Ensure that your setup project is open in Visual Studio.

  2. Click on the project's root-level icon in the Solution Explorer.

  3. In the Properties Window, change the ProductName property to "XYZ" or whatever you want the installer to display as your application's name.

  4. Rebuild the setup project.

Now, if your right-click on the project icon in the Solution Explorer and click "Install", the setup program will start and you can verify that the application name that it displays is correct.


It's also worth investigating the other deployment properties that are available for setup projects to make sure that these are set appropriately for your application.
