Dear Francesco,
In the startup screen, InstallAware is displaying following message,
Installer is verifying the contents of this setup package. This may take a moment.
But the word "moment" is not shown.
How do i increase the size of the text box or screen itself ?
(In some slow machines, it stays for 20 to 30 seconds.)
Appreciate your help.
Regards
SITL

Dear SITL,
please have a look at the following link where the same question was already discussed.

Hope this helps you.

Dear Francesco,
Thanks for your reply.
The link you shared has this line -
you may try to update the file dependent.exe in your main InstallAware folder using a resource editor. This file contains all initialization dialogs.
Frankly, i did not understand sir.
As far as my understanding goes, Resource editor means User interface editor ( Dialogs/Screens editor ).
I ran dependent.exe and I'm getting following error.
Download corrupt, please obtain a fresh copy of this file.
Where do i find these initialization dialogs ?
(I mean path, physical location).
Appreciate your support.
Regards

Dear SITL,
a Resource Editor is a tool capable of Viewing and Editing, the resources included with a binary file (eg. DLL / EXE).
A resource editor is included with Visual Studio or there are many others third-party tools that do the same.

Dear Francesco,
I Installed InstallAware X5 on a new machine and built my project.
But the starup screen title is showing as InstallAware insted of My product title.
I edited dependent.exe and made the required changes, still my changes are not reflected in the final build.
Urgent, please guide me.
suggest me alternative ways/methods.
what are the things i have to verify ?
Regards

Dear SITL,
as I have already said previously, if you need to modify the Text displayed by the initialization dialog, you only need to update/modify the "Shared Strings".

Hope this helps you.
