how to capture company name/user name during the installation of the .NET app?

Hi,

I am wondering if we could somehow setup the .exe using Publishing
wizard to prompt the clients(whoever runs the setup.exe after
published) to enter their company name and username. I'd like to get
this information to display in the Help->About option along with the
version number.

If I can't do that with VS2005 publishing wizard, I could use
InstallShield. However, how do I know where this information is stored
in the registry without having to search for registry?

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks & regards,
T
