Re: Change advertised program ready to run message

2 things come to mind.

1) Send the feature request to SMSWish.
2) Wrap your installation in a script. VBS for example gives you the
flexibility to pop messages and react based on them. But a simple OK
message script wrapper could look something like this:

===============================================================
Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

MsgBox("If you have any problems installing this software, please contact
Help Desk @ x12345",vbOK,"My Title")

Dim iReturn
iReturn = oShell.Run("My.EXE /parameters", 1, False)
===============================================================
