Phrasing Help
Does anyone have a good, professional way of saying something like:

Installation Complete. You may run the program from the shortcut on your desktop or via the Start Menu. Uninstallation of the program may be accomplished via the Start Menu or Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

I'm assuming others have had to display this in their installers...if so, could you show me the phrasing that you used?

Thanks in advance!!!

I was thinking about doing it in the Finish install page.

In Modern UI use before !Include MUI.nsh:
!define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_INFO_TEXT "bla bla"

Yes, but I was wondering if anyone has some good, professional sounding words to present the user with. I thought that maybe someone has already had to do this before, so maybe they have a good description for what I want to present to the user.

Do you suggest writing that in !define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_INFO_TEXT or a Messagebox or other??? I find that I can only get 5 lines of text doing it the !define MUI_TEXT_FINISH_INFO_TEXT way (I've posted this in this forum in a different thread).

You need to make the Finish page InstallOptions label control larger to fit more text on it.
I think this can be done through changing the installoptions write in the system.nsh file.

I think it would be easier to modify the 'ioSpecial.ini' file in the PRE function of the FINISH page.
