How to change text above the progress bar?

If I wanna execute a program, using

ExecWait `blah blah...`

When this line is executed, the default text above the progress bar will be "Executing blah blah...", if I wanna the text to display as "Configuring blah..", how to achieve? Thanks.

Here's one way:



SetDetailsPrint textonly

DetailsPrint "Configuring blah.."

ExecWait "blah blah..."

SetDetailsPrint both

## continue your code here...

DetailPrint, not DetailsPrint. No s.

Still can't change the default status text, it still displays `Execute: x:\xxx\xxx`, here's my code, something wrong?



outfile test.exe



Section ''

      SetDetailsPrint textonly

      DetailPrint `Configuring blah..`

      execwait `$SYSDIR\NotePad2.exe`

SectionEnd

outfile test.exe



Section ''

      SetDetailsPrint textonly ; or both

      DetailPrint `Configuring blah..`

      SetDetailsPrint none   ; or listonly

      execwait `$SYSDIR\NotePad2.exe`

SectionEnd

Thanks to Kichik for catching my typo in my original post.

And to dmiller for correcting my original code. (I guess I should have tried myself once first.) 😳
