It does list the package name:

"which" is the package name. You can install this package using setup.exe.

What you're asking for is the *category* name, which might be useful but is 
definitely not necessary to install or uninstall the package. You can 
select and install a package without knowing which category it's in by 
switching to the "Full" view in setup.exe.
