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)

Oops. You're right, dude. This has nothing to do with WiX. I forgot to add
/d Desc parameter for SignTool.exe: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz.aspx Thanks!Explore related questions
