Text in prerequisite dialogs

I have a InstallScript MSI project with SQLExpress as optional prerequisite.

When the database is not installed, InstallShield displays the dialog indicating that SQLExpress is going to be installed and when clicking on continue, a popup shows that SQLExpress is optional.

Is there a way to change the text in these dialogs (ie. indicating the end user what happen if he chooses not to install the DB)?

Try editing string 1669 of 0x0409.ini (in the support folder under your InstallShield install) for English, and other files according to their language IDs, and rebuilding. Just beware that this is a shared file, so you will probably want to preserve the original string for other projects that may need it.

Thank you for this reply, I will try it.

It would be nice if such strings could be added to the project's string table to avoid changing the support files of IS2008.

Am using Basic MSI Install Project type in Installshield2008 Professional.

How should i make the prerequistite as mandatory.

When i click on the "NO" button option, the installer should abort the installation ?

Is there any way to do that ?
