What is the proper way to set the Company Name and Application Name in a ClickOnce application?

I have a set of projects in a solution called RecordNavigator. The GUI project is called RecordNavigator.Gui.

When I publish the application - I want the Start menu to have a folder called Tyndall Software and the application shortcut to be called Record Navigator.

Right now the folder says Organization and the shortcut says RecordNavigator.Gui. The AssemblyInfo.cs file seems to have no effect. Is that normal?

If you open your project's properties in Visual Studio and click on the 'Publish' tab, there should be an 'Options...' button under 'Install Mode and Settings'. There you can define the Publisher name ('Tyndall Software'), Product name ('Record Navigator'), and other such options.
