COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsInstalledProduct::OfficialName(  
   [out, retval] BSTR *pbstrName  
);  

IVsInstalledProduct.OfficialName is used to display the product name shown in the splash screen and About dialog box. If you only want to provide information in the About dialog box and do not want to support the splash screen then do not implement IVsInstalledProduct. Information can be added to the About dialog box alone using the registry.
