Missing Label Text

We created a dialog to collect information during installation. When the install is run on XP, everything is fine. When we run the same install on Windows Server 2003, the text for the labels do not show up. Any ideas?

Probably an issue with Windows themes - your labels are not in the right colors, etc. to show properly when themes aren't being used.
Change the various color properties of your labels to work around this. You can also look at how some of the pre-built InstallAware dialog themes are structured, they show correctly with and without Windows themes, so that should give you some ideas to fix the problem.

I went back and changed the label colors to all black and made sure the group boxes they were in were set to the back. Still, the labels don't appear in 2003 but show up in the designer and when the install is run on XP.
