I think you can only specify the position for the very first dialog. All subsequent dialogs will be displayed in the same location. (Unless you want to call some WinAPI functions to find your installer windows and move it)

The first dialog is InstallInitialize, not InstallWelcome (at least if you are using the default dialogs in InstallShield)

In a BasicMSI Project you should see the SetupInitialization dialog (sorry, had the wrong dialog name in my previous post) in the UI Sequence and in the dialog view.
In a Standard project the UI works completely different, so everything I said does not apply to Standard projects. In this case you would have to write some script code to move the dialog. Which dialog do you want to move? For the status dialog it's easy, using the PlaceWindow function.

I believe you would have to modify the source code of the Sd dialogs and call the appropriate Windows APIs in the DLGINIT section.

This is a very old thread. Maybe start a new thread, describe what you're trying to achieve to provide some context.
Note however that I haven't done much InstallScript cosing lately, so I don't recall from the top of my head how to move a dialog.
