Here is what is going on: The company name you are seeing comes from the file ReadMe.txt, which is in the same folder as your project.
It's intended to have text in it that displays in the installer. A developer will usually create their own ReadMe file specific for the app, with information that the user will need. If the file does not exist, a generic one is created with the text you see. If the file already exists, it is not overwritten. >Hi Al, > >Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't help.
