VS 2005: MSI Setup project and add/remove programs question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi All,

I have written a small app in VS2005 called "coop" and now want to
deploy to numerous machines. I have created a Setup project called
"Setup" within the same solution, which works fine apart from one
problem; When I look in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs my app
appears in the list as "Setup coop" - is it possible to change the
name that appears in Add/Remove Programs to make it more relevant to
my customers?

TIA

Kiers
