"Preparing For Installing..." strings

Hello.

I want to set values for strings in an InstallShield-2010-project. It can be done with the help of UserInterface->String Editor. Thus we can change the text of any page of the wizard.

But I can't find the strings for pre-page "Preparing for installing..." anywhere.

How to change the strings on this page?

Hi,

Check out the Direct Editor, the table ISString. I think the string IDS_IsInitDlg_PreparingWizard is what you are looking for.

The matter is IDS_IsInitDlg_PreparingWizard is not that string I needed.
I need to replace text

"Preparing Installshield Wizard which will install [Product Name] on
your computer.Please wait.."", and the caption "[Product Name] - Installshield Wizard".

I suspect you'll find that that text is compiled into setup.exe.

If you're quick you may be able to edit setup.ini while your installation is building but it wouldn't surprise me if no-one else encourages you to do that!

Does anybody know how can I change these strings in binary files?

The setupini.exe tool - http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q107253 - might allow what you're looking for.
