I think you are looking to avoid the security warning that is displayed when someone installs your setup. For this you would need to sign the setup with your certificate and a private key. You can try to do this by following the steps explained in the following links:

Assuming you are looking for a publisher name in the control panel Programs and Features. You could use the Manufacturer attribute in your Product tag.

<Product Id="PUT-YOUR-GUID"  
 Manufacturer="PublisherName" 
 Name="ProductName" 
 UpgradeCode="PUT-YOUR-GUID" 
 Version="1.0.0">
