Add the following lines to your InnoSetup script file:

[Messages]
// define wizard title and tray status msg
// both are normally defined in innosetup's default.isl (install folder)
SetupAppTitle = Setup YourApplicationShortName
SetupWindowTitle = Setup - YourApplicationName YourApplicationVersion

This will modify the "title bar" and the "app title" in the tray.

I would suggest not modifying the default configuration in /innosetup/default.isl, like Sertac Akyuz pointed out. Think of this file as fallback config. If you don't define a setting, then the setting is taken from default.isl. Just modify your file; not the default settings!

In the InnoSetup installation folder there's a default.isl file, open that file in a text editor, find the SetupWindowTitle entry and change the right side from Setup - %1 to only %1. Also repeat the process for additional languages you use in the setup, you'll find the matching '.isl' files in the 'Languages' folder.
