Assembly Information in "Add/Remove Programs"

In a Project's Assembly Information, what parts are used for the titles in
"Add/Remove Programs"? I see Title, Company, and Product, but the Company
string entered here does not always show up in "Add/Remove Programs."

We have several products, and we would like to keep them grouped together.
To do this, we are going to start naming our products using "Company
Product." The version information is already available.

RE: Assembly Information in "Add/Remove Programs"

This value is a property of the Setup, values in deployed assemblies are
ignored.

Click on the setup project in solution explorer and select View/Properties
Windows (or F4 with C# keyboard layout). The Manufacturer (or maybe Author)
property there should be the one visible in Add/Remove Programs.
