Setup project and custom action UI

I have created a Windows Service project and have added a Setup project
to the solution.

My Windows Service executable has a built in installer so that I can
install the service by calling the exe with a /I command line switch.

This all works well.

In my project setup, I have added a custom action that calls my
service's install routine. This also works well.

My question is about the UI presented when the installation is run. A
progress bar is displayed but I would like to have a message displayed
above the progress bar that says something like "Installing Service" at
the point where the custom actions are run.

I have been unable to find out how to do this. Is there any way to
edit the install script in the .msi file?

Can anyone provide me with some insight?

Thanks,

Chris Dunaway
