For example: How to delete the text “Welcome to the Setup1 Setup1 Wizard” in the screenshot below?

You can easily change the welcome text by changing the project file in notepad. (i.e. project1.vdproj) Be sure to change ProductName or Title. I can’t remember which one, and then rebuild the project, and everything is ready.

One solution (if the process of creating your installation is not lengthy) - you will need to make the setting from scratch and rename it at that time, for example My Setup, when it offers the name of the setting.
