My client wants me to get rid of Microsofts default text in the Title of the installer (MSI).

Instead, they want me to use their custom banner bitmaps.

I am easily able to include each banner on each different page of the setup project, but how do I get rid of Microsofts text? I dont care if it is hidden, set to an empty string, or anything else. It just should not be seen.

Im fine editing the MSI with ORCA, but I dont know what needs to be edited.

Thanks for Helping!

Can you post a screen shot of the text you are talking about?

Most of the configurable text is available in the Install Wizard Pages (form Setup/Deployment Project). The Title is the name of your solution, IIRC.

In terms of the Window Title, that displays at the top and in the task bar, I dont know if you have control over that...
 
Rats. I meant to update this thread, but I never got around to it.

Editing with Orca solved the problem:

In the Control table, I searched for all BannerText Controls and removed the text shown in their "Text" properties.

The problem is that Visual Studio does not allow editing these fields. I would imagine this is to promote others to buy products like Install Shield, etc.
