Installshield: Change product name, but not MSI file name

Want to change the product name of an installer but not change the MSI file name?
BTW. If you change the MSI file name you may break upgrades!
Simply change the product name and then under release, specify the 'MSI Package file name' to be the old product name. (the MSI file name defaults to the product name, if not explicitly specified.)

Thanks, Matt! Previous developer named the product BlahBlah_V1.0. So for version 2.0, I wanted to change the product name to BlahBlah, but had been given a vague warning that sometimes changing the product name messed up the upgrades. Now I know why!
