Extending text in MUI2 standard pages

Hi,
I would like to extend/modify the text that is displayed in the MUI_DIRECTORY_PAGE of my installer saying "Setup will install XYZ in the following location...". Is there any way to do this?
Since my installer should work in three languages this would have to be done in three languages also.

thanks in advance,
Nicolas

I suppose the easiest way would be to read the texts at run time using NSD_GetText and then set a modified string with NSD_SetText. Use Resource Hacker to find the correct control ID.
