Change Status Text
Please forgive a question from a newbie. I know that you can change the text that appears at the bottom of the modern UI from Nullsoft Install System v2.0x to any custom text that you'd like. However, I am not sure how to go about doing that. Could someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

Add the following command right by where you have your "Name" and "OutFile" commands.

BrandingText

/TRIM(LEFT|RIGHT|CENTER) text
Sets the text that is shown (by default it is 'Nullsoft Install System vX.XX') in the bottom of the install window. Setting this to an empty string ("") uses the default; to set the string to blank, use " " (a space). If it doesn't matter to you, leave it the default so that everybody can know why the installer didn't suck. heh. Use /TRIMLEFT, /TRIMRIGHT or /TRIMCENTER to trim down the size of the control to the size of the string.

Thank you very much! I wasn't sure what they called that! I'm very new to this.

Yeah, that one can be hard to search for. When I first started with NSIS, I found it helpful to read through all the commands in the help file, on the Index tab. It won't take you more than 15-30 minutes.
