For 2 days, I've been trying in vain to find out how to solve a bug in which the "program name" does not appear in the uninstaller. The problem does not affect the installer and the software appears ok in Windows Add/Remove dialog as well.
My investigations led me to the variable $(^NameDA) in the file English.nlf.
For example, the line
"$(^NameDA) will be uninstalled from the following folder."
will appear as
" will be uninstalled from the following folder." in my uninstaller.
Here's some code, hope someone can give me a tip on where to look. Would appreciate a lot. 🙂
