I have a console app project and a related setup project in the same solution. When I run the generated .msi, the install wizard shows following default Install location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Default Company Name\myApp\

How can I put my own company name?

Open the Properties Window (NOT the right-click on the set-up project)

Use the toolbar View -> Properties Window

VS 2013/2017 on windows 7: Keyboard shortcut F4

VS 2010 on windows 7: Keyboard shortcut sequence Ctrl + W and then Ctrl + P

Now select your set-up project in the Solution Explorer window, the Properties window should populate with the info (e.g. author, language, program title etc.) that you can edit
