Specify output executable name for burn bootstrapper

Question

In VS2012 I created a WIX Bootstrapper project (BURN). I named the project "Bootstrapper". Now the bootstrapper works fine, but I would like to change the name of the generated file (bootstrapper.exe) in something different. I am unable to find where this outputfile name is set.

Answer 1

I found the answer myself. In Visual studio unload the project and change the OutputName element in the xml.

Well, you can also do it from within VS 2012:

In Solution Explorer, right click on your Bootstrapper Project and from Context menu, click on Properties: This should open the Properties page for your Project. You can change the output file name (and output type as well) of your Bootstrapper project

Update: Here is the screenshot of dialog:

Well this does not work for me. VS2012 does not show anything in the context menu for Bootstrapper, it does for a normal Wix setup project... – Pairs

I'm fairly surprised to know that you can't find it. I've updated my answer with a screen shot. That might help. – Westwardly

I reinstalled my Visual Studio and now it works as shown in the above screenshot. Thanks.. – Pairs
