have no problem customizing IS dialogs...however can't seem to find the destination dialog for the self-extracting files.
Anybody know where the self-extracting dailogs are?

This is not a script driven dialog. If you create the self extractor with PackageForTheWeb I think it's stored in a stub exe. Not sure if Pro6 itself uses the same stub, but I guess it works similar.

Hey Stefan, been a while. Good to hear from you.
You are right. It has to be stored in the self-extracting exe that is made because it is displayed before the install starts and either of of the _is*.dll are extracted.
Opened the se exe as a resource and the string table only contains errors; not all the text strings. So I guess the string I would want to change is actually defined in the source; and inaccessible.
Thx

Think I found it...
In the <IS install dir>\program\pftw\langauages there is a file called english.plf that contains what looks like all the se dialog strings.
Let me see what a little changing will do...
Thanks again.

Yes that shold work I believe this is even documented.
(I didn't notice you only wanted to change the text, I thought you were looking for different layout)

It's in the PFTW help file under Localizing a Package -> Customizing a Package Language File
