Customising Initial Boot Dialog

Good day,

I was wondering if there is any way to customise or completely replace the dialog shown initially on the start of the installation. Or should I call it the Dialog within the Bootstrapper?
I have attached a screen dump of the dialog that I am talking about, and named it "Bootstrapper.jpg".

Thank you

Good day,

I was using a debug script when I captured the screen which I want to customise... the initial attachment I would still like to customise the text, however I do know that I can use the "Creatives" segment to customise some of the previously attached screen.

I have attached the actual Bootloader Screen that I would like to customise, and would ask if it is possible.
As can be seen, I have managed to update the icon, using the "Creatives" segment, but I want to be able to change the text too.

In the previous post, I know that if I add a 32x32 png I can change the "Icon" there too... but within that screen I would like to change the text too.

Thanks

Hi,

These strings (they are called installer shared strings) are editable via the mTranslator tool. It is located in the InstallAware directory\trans.
