			Please note that you have to call this function in every page's opening (or pre) function, as otherwise the titlebar will be reset to the default set by Caption commands.

			Additionally, the above function will only change the titlebar of the main installer window. Any messageboxes, error dialogs, etc. that may present themselves during installation will use the title set by Caption commands.

This sample describes how to change the window title of the installer at runtime. It is based on this [http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=135256 Forum-Thread]. Thx rsegal.

The main code is
<highlight-nsis>
SendMessage $HWNDPARENT ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:Your text"
</highlight-nsis>

Have a look at the following sample.

Sleep 5000
SendMessage $HWNDPARENT ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:Ok, that's enough."
