Is there any way to set the packa...@description property dynamically? It does
seem to accept bracket-style properties, but it only uses the values that those
properties are initialized to on startup. If I change the value during
install, I still get the original value displayed in Add/Remove Programs.
Basically, my application is cobranded with different names and I'm building a
generic installer. I read the brand name from a license key in a custom action
before the first UI dialog. I use that to decide what to set the ProductName
property to and what graphics to load in to the UI.
It works great, except I can't get the name in add/remove programs updated. I
tried changing the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{guid}\DisplayName
value, but it seems to have no effect.
The docs say that that packa...@description ends up in the summary information
stream. Is there a way to write to the summary information stream dynamically
at runtime? Or is this hardcoded into the MSI? Perhaps there's a way to write
to the cached MSI that Add/Remove programs is looking at? I'm not sure where
it's cached to. Please help.
