Customizing the installer for my GUI?

I am updating a GUI with LabWindows CVI 2012. I was able to build a distributable installer, and it installs and runs on the target PC.

 

I am having a problem customizing the text in the installer windows, though. Specifically, the first window that pops up for a split second - which lists the name of the project, the company, the version number, and the statement "Built with LabWindows CVI 2012" - is displaying an outdated company and project name, but I cannot figure out how to change these.

 

I have scoured the Build Options, Target Settings, and Edit Installer windows, but couldn't find a way to change this text. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't remember CVI 2012, but in the current CVI 2017 you can access it via the menu Build / Target Settings. On the displayed popup panel click on "Version Info".

 

According to the 2012 help this seems to be very similar in your version Smiley Happy

With specific reference to Company Name, it is stored in a file created during installation, which can be edited in case your company name has schanged. Editing the registration info, you'll find the correct company name in all your projects, provided you use %company keyword in the target settings screen mentioned by Wolfgang instead of simply typing the correct name. This discussion explains where to find that info.



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Thanks for your suggestions. 

I was actually able to figure it out. It was information defined in the "Welcome Message File", which I was able to change by editing the .txt document being referenced.
For anyone reading this thread, the reference to that file is changed in Build -> Distributions -> Manage Distributions -> Edit -> General -> Installer Dialogue Options -> Welcome message file.
