Change the text of \"Previous Version Uninstallation\"

Is it possible to change the value of $PRELIST$ to something other "Previous Version Uninstallation". Technically it's not accurate as you can install an older version of an application over a newer one. Since the default installer code reads the ARP registry for the DisplayName of the current installed version, could we just display that value. It's already in the $PROD_NAME$ variable.

thanks!

The $PRELIST$ variable contains a list of the prerequisites specified by you in the prerequisites section of IA. The text "Previous Versions Uninstallation" is displayed by Windows Installer when a product with the same product code as the installing product is found in the target system.
