On the Finish Dialog window, the Checkbox Text field is too short.

All I can fit in there is:

Create shortcut on desktop|Run [PRODUCTNAME]|View Help File|Start
[PRODUCTNAME] with Windows

This equates to 4 checkboxes. Also the limitation is that if the text above
is about more than 4 lines, then everything gets a bit muddled.

So my workaround is to create my checkboxes on a new scren BUT am still
limited to about 4 checkboxes.

Could this field be made bigger to accomodate maybe 8 boxes?

There MAY be a scneario where this number are required.

BTW this is NOT urgent for me.

Many thanks

John,

IMO, it is not a good idea to make the "Create shortcut on desktop" task
part of the Finish dialog. You should ask this question before the "Ready
to Install" dialog (e.g. in a Additional Tasks dialog).

At the moment we can display 5 checkboxes and one hyperlink (see attached
screenshot). Maybe it is possible to add one more check box (so that we'll
have 6). I fear 8 checkboxes is not possible.
