VS2010 installer - how to set [manufacturer] and other such properties

I'm working on a VS2010 installer for a Windows Service project. I want to set the [manufacturer] property for the project, but I can't see where it is located in 2010.

When I try to install currently, it converts [manufacturer] to 'Microsoft'.

In the Windows Start menu, you can search for "installer", and then select Visual Studio Installer from the results. If you have Visual Studio open, select Tools > Get Tools and Features..., which opens the Visual Studio Installer.

I can tell from your response to @mrchief's answer that you're looking in the wrong place. The assembly info source file sets the properties for the installed component. But you probably want to change the name on the setup program.

In the Properties window for the Setup project, set the Author and Manufacturer properties.

You should choose the Setup project in the Solution Explorer window and press F4.
