Changing name of Excel add-in

G

Guest

I'm creating an Excel add-in using the Excel 2007 Add-in template in VS2008.
The name of the add-in seems to be based on the name of the project, but I'd
like to change it without changing the project name. For example, my project
is MyProject.csproj, but I'd like the name of the add-in (e.g. when you look
at it in the add-in manager) to be "Dave's Tool". How can I do this?!

Hello Debbie,

In the Registry view of your setup project, see the FriendlyName entry in
the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\%yourAddin%
