Change registry key FriendlyAppName to "MuseScore 2.1"
Change registry key HCR/Applications/MuseScore.exe/shell/open/FriendlyAppName to "Musecore 2" or "MuseScore 2.1". This helps on right-click → "Open with", when having 1.x and 2.x installed in parallel, and will help even more later once 3.0 is out, to diffentiate which version you want a score getting opened with.
This is what it looks like for me, with that change:

I believe the line to adjust is build/packaging/WIX.template.in, line 111 , but I have the feeling that this should have been added in build/packaging/WIX.template.in, line 7 already, but failed due to white space and missing quotes (""")?
Making this work for MuseScore 3 too probably means the need to rename the executable. It so far is mscore.exe for 1.x and MuseScore.exe for 2.x, maybe needs to become something like MuseScore3.exe for 3.x? Something to consider once 30 is nearing I guess
But now it might be good to also change (or add?) the registry key HCR/Applications/mscore.exe/shell/open/FriendlyAppName to "Musecore 1", "MuseScore 1.3" or "MuseScore 1.x".
