I have created a setup project for a Windows Application developed using Visual Stduio 2008(C#).
In the portion of installation screen where it says, this installer will guide you through the steps required to install ABC on your computer
I want this changed to this installer will guide you through the steps required to install XYZ on your computer
How can I change the word ABC to XYZ?

If not then Choose View -> Editor -> File System. Now, you need to add output of your Windows Form Application to build the setup. Right-click on the Application Folder and select Add -> Project Output. Leave the default selection of Primary Output in the "Add Project Output Group" dialog box and click the OK button.
To change the Title and Product Name just click on the project in solution explorer and press F4 to bring up the project properties, you can edit them there. To change the name of the generated msi file just open the . vdproj file in notepad or some other editor and replace all instances of "Setup1.
Windows Installer enables the efficient installation and configuration of your products and applications running on Windows. The installer provides new capabilities to advertise features without installing them, to install products on demand, and to add user customizations.
Follow these steps to change your application's name:
Ensure that your setup project is open in Visual Studio.
Click on the project's root-level icon in the Solution Explorer.
In the Properties Window, change the ProductName property to "XYZ" or whatever you want the installer to display as your application's name.
Rebuild the setup project.
Now, if your right-click on the project icon in the Solution Explorer and click "Install", the setup program will start and you can verify that the application name that it displays is correct.
It's also worth investigating the other deployment properties that are available for setup projects to make sure that these are set appropriately for your application.
