Modify productName, manufacturer in VS 2008 deployment project

Productname and manufacturer for deployment project can be modified through properties from setup project but if you right click the setup project and select Properties it pops up Property Pages that have only Build configuration properties. and no option to change product name or manufacturer.

A workaround for this is after selecting the Setup Project to open Property Window from Main menu select View->"Property Window" and it shows different set of properties to edit that contain product name and manufacturer.
