Code signed MSI name issue, WiX

4
votes

I coded my MSI installer using WiX. The MSI is also signed with my code signing certificate. When I begin its installation I get the following security warning on Windows 7:

Enter image description here

But for some reason the Program Name is nothing but the name of my MSI or anything I added to it.

Is there a way to give it some user-friendly name to display in that warning?

With SignTool.exe it is enough to set a description text from what I remember, this being used as application name in the UAC prompt. Have you tried that? (don't know if this is supported from WiX)
