NuGet Package Metadata

Squirrel uses information from your app's EXE as well as the NuGet package Metadata for the setup and uninstall UI.

Id - name of the application (warning: you must avoid using spaces and dots in the Id).
- Name of the release packages (e.g., MyApp-1.0.0-full.nupkg).
- Local installation directory (e.g., %LocalAppData%\MyApp).
Title - used for the name of the application in the Windows Application Uninstaller.
Version - version specified in Properties\Assembly.cs.
- Name of the release package (e.g., MyApp-1.0.0-full.nupkg).
- Version number in the Windows Uninstaller (see screenshot below).
Icon Url - url to an icon to be used for the application. Used for the shortcuts and Windows Uninstaller icons. This must be an icon file (*.ICO) to work correctly. Note that the icon is fetched at installation time rather than packaging (source: issue #745)
Language Changes the codepage in to support non english characters. Defaults to 1252 if not present.
