Unable to change 'Setup status' label in Progress Dialog
Configuration:
- Installscript MSI project
- Custom skin, based on 'blue' theme
- Standard text color : black
- background color: dark-purple
In the installation progress dialog (the one with the progress bar), in the top area of the window is a label with the text 'Setup status' (well, in dutch). I want to be able to manipulate this label in one of the following ways:
- Remove it (preferred)
- Change the color
- Place another label with empty text over it, so it is hidden
The progress dialog is not present in the list of dialogs wich can be changed in installshield, and I can't find a way to manipulate this label in Installscript.
Any ideas, anyone?

I have essentially this same problem. I need to translate "Setup Status" in this dialog, but do not have access to change the dialog as far as I know.
Plus, because I'm translating this dialog to Arabic it needs to be RTL and Installshield is not in the correct location near the bottom.

Did you try using SetStatusExStaticText("your text") just before OnFirstUIBefore() ends.

That's the wrong string. There's a function already in my OnFirstUIBefore function:
SetStatusExStaticText( SdLoadString( IDS_IFX_STATUSEX_STATICTEXT_FIRSTUI ) );
And according to the documentation IDS_IFX_STATUSEX_STATICTEXT_FIRSTUI is the string "The InstallShield Wizard is installing %P" for English.
I need the string located above that in the window...
SetStatusExStaticText( SdLoadString( IDS_IFX_STATUSEX_STATICTEXT_FIRSTUI ) );
And according to the documentation IDS_IFX_STATUSEX_STATICTEXT_FIRSTUI is the string "The InstallShield Wizard is installing %P" for English.

-- Add these function prototypes to the top of your file --
// Prototype User32.dll system calls
prototype BOOL User32.SetDlgItemText( HWND, INT, BYVAL STRING );
prototype BOOL User32.InvalidateRect( HWND, RECT POINTER, BOOL );
prototype BOOL User32.UpdateWindow( HWND );
-- Use the following code segment in your function --
//[Declare the hWndStatus as a number or integer]
NUMBER hWndStatus;
begin
...
SetStatusWindow(0, "");
Enable( STATUSEX );
hWndStatus = FindWindow( "", IFX_SETUP_TITLE );
if ( hWndStatus != NULL ) then
User32.SetDlgItemText( hWndStatus, 50, "ENTER YOUR STRING HERE!!!");
// Redraw the window so that the old "Setup Status" text won't overlap
// your new text.
User32.InvalidateRect(hWndStatus, NULL, FALSE);
User32.UpdateWindow(hWndStatus);
endif;
StatusUpdate(ON, 100);
- Hope this helps,

This is more or less the same problem I am having. Did you or anyone ever figure out how to make changes to this dialog?
