How.... Sweet baby Jesus how...  do you get a EULA file to show in the
License Agreement dialog in a setup project?  I've tried everything....  
EVERYTHING... But whenever I try to install the EULA box is empty.  I have a
gun, and I'm going to use it if nobody answers my question.  Imagine the
headlines...  MS developer shoots self because the EFFING License Agreement
dialog wouldn't show his EFFING EULA...

So I had the rope up over the tree limb, when I thought to myself, "self,
what if just renaming a text file .rtf won't work?  Maybe before you step off
the milk crate you should open the file in Word, change the font and put some
color in, then save it as an actual RTF."  So, I did it.  And, yea, verily,
it worketh, hey nonny nonny.  So if you're a poor pathetic programmer like
me, googling for the answer, please ignore the idiot who says that all you
have to do is name the file "license".  He's wrong.  It has to be an actual,
real-life, saved-as-rtf RTF document.  No lie.

LOL, Programmers shouldn't have guns and ropes in the house.

I'd hate to see what happens when you have bugs in your code ;-).
