Hi,

 

I need to change my Software upgrade user message "The setup will perform a upgrade of '[productname]' wizard " to "The setup will perform a upgrade of  [productname]' wizard from '[old version]' to [new version]'.

 

I figured out this dialog is displayed by the setup.exe launcher, not by Windows Installer. It is taken from the language file (0x0409.ini for English) that's copied to the disk image when you build your release. You can edit it either there (eah time you built your release) or modify the template in theSupport subfolder of your InstallShield program folder (which will globally affect all setups you build on that machine) (info from one of your answers)

 

1128=This setup will perform an upgrade of '%s'. Do you want to continue? 

change above to 

1128=This setup will perform an upgrade of '%s' from '%r' to '%q'. Do you want to continue? 

 

But I do not know how do i feed '%r' and '%q' to language file.

%s stands for "string" and is a placeholöder that the setup.exe will automatically replace with the product name. It doesn't have functionality to automatically fill in other data such as version numbers. You would have to create your own launcher for this.

Thanks for the help.

It will be great if you can guide me to any reference or link to create my own launcher for the above mentioned issue.
