1. First close the InstallAnywhere IDE.
2. Go to the IA Home directory (folder where InstallAnywhere is installed).
3. Inside the ?resource? directory, you will find a sub-directory called ?i18nresources?.
4. Open the appropriate custom_xx locale file (for example custom_en for English) in the above specified folder with a text editor and search for the following string:
   1. InstallProgressUI.installingProductStr=Installing $PRODUCT_NAME$
5. In the above property, change ?Installing $PRODUCT_NAME$ ? to what you want installer panel to display.
   1. Note: Before making the above change, it is suggested that you save a backup copy of the original custom_xx file somewhere, just in case if you might need the file for later.
6. Save the locale file, restart the IA IDE and rebuild the installer.

Note: Since the string is being changed in the global locale file, the changed text will appear in every built installer.
