SYMPTOMS
When modifying the value of "DefProgramGroup" in the Application Setup Wizard's Setup.lst file to change the name of the program group to be created, the modification is ignored during the application's installation.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Changing the value of "DefProgramGroup" does not change the name of the program group. Below is a typical [Setup] paragraph:

[Setup] Title=Project1 DefProgramGroup=Project1 DefaultDir=$(ProgramFiles)\Project1 Setup=setup1.exe AppExe=Project1.exe AppToUninstall=Project1.exe AppPath=

Changing the line "DefProgramGroup=Project1" to "DefProgramGroup=MyProject" will not create a group named "MyProject" after you install the application.

NOTE: This behavior has been updated with the new Visual Basic 6.0 Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW). The PDW now allows multiple group creation that was not available in previous versions of the Application Setup Wizard.
