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'.

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.

I understand that. I have VS2010 ultimate, and unfortunately, in the location you describe, that information is not there. In there currently, I only have Configuration Properties, and Build under that...and those don't have this information. Do you think I'm still looking in the wrong place, maybe have the wrong type of setup project, or does it just seem that is broken? – pearcewg Jun 30 '11 at 22:13

Thank you! Don't know how I missed that, but I do have the flu, so maybe that impacted my judgement hehehe – pearcewg Jul 01 '11 at 15:53

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

Try setting it in AssemblyCompany attribute in your assembly info file

Seems like you need to install it through a Windows deployment project: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/seykw6dt.aspx – Mrchief Jun 30 '11 at 21:52
