Application name in XP firewall settings

[T. Schmidt]

Hello,

I've got a problem with the Windows XP SP2 firewall and my VS2003 project.

I wrote an application which offers a service to the network. So when I start my software the firewall message box appears and I command to no longer block my application. When I take a look afterwards to the exceptions list at the firewall settings I can find the entry for my program but without any name, just an empty line.

I've filled AssemblyTitle, AssemblyDescription, AssemblyCompany and AssemblyCopyright in the AssemblyInfo.cs file, but it doesn`t help.

What can I do to set up a proper name?

Thanks!

Thomas
