Factorio Forums

This is only a minor, cosmetic annoyance. In the Windows control panel, this is how the Factorio installer looks like:


Note the "Factorio version number" string in the name column, and the empty columns. Also, the version number doesn't reflect the actual installed version, as it isn't updated by the automatic updater.

And this is how it should ideally look, with adjusted name entry, publisher, and version number:


The Windows registry keys to adjust are located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Factorio_is1
The 3 relevant key strings are:

• DisplayName (to modify to display 'Factorio' only)
• DisplayVersion (to be added)
• Publisher (to be added)

I've looked into InnoSetup doc, and I believe it should be fairly simple to adjust the current code.
The DisplayVersion string should ideally be updated by the automatic updater too.

It may be beneficial to still have the display name contain the version for further dummy-proofing and possibly avoiding technical issues with multiple factorio installs, but yeah the version and publisher fields should also be filled in.
