Where does the exe -file name in a setup project come from?

[andypandyswe]

I've written a small app and during development has changed it's name a few times. Now I'm finished and have added a setup project using the setup wizard. When I build the setup project I end up with a "setup.ini", "setup.exe" and a "setup NewApplication.msi".

I install it by clicking setup.exe and in the install directory I get a file called "OldApplication.exe, which runs the program."

OldApplication is what I called it a while back. I've done a search and replace through the entire project changing OldApplication to NewApplication but still the final .exe -file is called the old name... Where do I change it????

Thankful for any help

Right click the setup project -> Add -> Project Output...

Select again the primary output.

Nope, doesn't work.

errr ..
you mean that the old file is run instead of the new, or the new file has the old's file ... name ?

The .exe -file gets the old name. All I want is for it to be called by the new name...

 

[andypandyswe]

... so where does the setup project process get the name that it gives to the application.exe -file???

Right click he startup project (you exe project) and select Properties. In Common properties | General there is an "Assembly name" textbox. Write the new name there.
