First window doesn't use productName from Product.Name about issues

[barnson]

What is "opening window"? What does your WiX authoring look like?

[BryanCrotaz]

Opening window - the first window Wix setup shows during install.

My authoring? I've seen this term in a few places in the docs but don't know what it means.

[barnson]

WiX authoring is the source code in your .wxs files. The .wixproj does not include WiX authoring.

I can't find any documentation on how to set the ProductName variable. I've tried with SetProperty but I get an error about having a duplicate ProductName

[BryanCrotaz]

Which of these is ProductName coming from?

Note that none of them are called ProductName, and we're not in a Product element either

Ohhh do you have to use a Property child?

<Package>
  <Property Name="ProductName">My Name</Property>
</Package>

Submitted a docs PR to help the next person behind me
wixtoolset/web@master...BryanCrotaz:wix-web:patch-3

[barnson]

Use Package/@name.

[BryanCrotaz]

I've submitted a PR to state in the docs that Product and Package are the same thing to help other newbies. Please shepherd the change through so others don't have to go through my pain.
