  • OK,

     

    I thought I had added my research to the original post but it was in another forum.

     

    At the moment I understand that this information is grabbed from the Registry.

     

    I have a 64 bit 7 OS so the place in the reg where this is stored is

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

     

    I have changed the the RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner from Microsoft to mine.

     

    I then closed VS2010 and reopened, created a new project starting from scratch.

     

    Even after doing so the username and organization still defaults to Microsoft/Microsoft.

     

    I even tried rebooting knowing that my registry changes did not need this but still nothing.

     

    Q: Is it possible that InstallShield read the registry and then stored this value in another key and has since been using it.

     

    Q: When others run my setup will this affect them or just show up on my system?

     

    If the latter then I could live with my system being incorrect.

  • Do you mean InstallShield's information [Help]-[Version Information] from Tool bar?

     

    If so, try to fix the following registry.

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6FD6E369-45A1-4114-818F-4AD179916DB9}

     

    RegCompany

     

    RegOwner

  • So I assume what happened was when I Installed Install Shield 2011 it read from CurrentVersion for Windows NT which (was at the time) Microsoft/Microsoft. (and is now changed for the future) and then set their own key in the uninstall folder.

     

    For me it was saved here:

     

    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{38D39130-2440-40BE-BD88-0B581AA090C8}

     

    Once you got me on the right path, I just looked for the key that InstallShield made and voila!

     

    I appreciate the help weakness.

     

    Take care.

Where does Install Shield get the User Information?
