the MyApp Setup Wizard"? For instance, if I would like it to be in another

Go to the User Interface view and look at the properties for that dialog -
you can change the text there.

Thank you Mr Wilson,

Yes, I found the warning and the welcome text below the test "Welcome to the
MyApp Setup Wizard", but not the "Welcome to the MyApp Setup Wizard" itself.
Can it be changed somewhere else?

Regards,
Joachim

Ah, I misunderstood the text you were referring to. The project property
settings have a Localization value if you want one of the languages there.
If you literally want to add your own custom text, the only way I know for
VS projects is to edit the MSI file. Use Orca (install from orca.msi in the
Windows Installer section of the Platform SDK) and edit the Control table
Text value where the Dialog is WelcomeForm.
