Program Author

[not-nef]

Is it possible to specify a program author for msi? Because its always UNKNOWN!

You can use author or maintainer. See source.

setup(
    name = "foo",
    version = "0.1",
    author = "My name",
    description = "My app!",
    options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
    executables = [Executable("foo.py", base=base)]
)

Ok, so how i see this, this happens because the author parameter doesn’t exist. Am i doing something wrong?

There are some samples that you can check: https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze/tree/main/cx_Freeze/samples
These samples work. Compare with your setup.
Without the author your aap works?
