At the end of my installation I have a text dialog box which displays rather
a long text explaining post setup instructions.

I resized the text box using ORCA and editing customaction table for EDIT1
textbox height. But the text is still displayed as one line and user has to
scroll horizantally. How can I make the text to fill the new area?

Thanks

Why not use the ReadMe custom dialog and get the text from a file? That's a
scrollable text box.

Hi Phil:

I already have the readme dialog and it comes up at the beginning. VS2003
won't allow me to have another readme dialog box. I don't know if I can add
one more readme dialog box, haven't tried it.
