How to customize a message in msi creation using InstallShied 2009?

I am creating msi set up for x64 bit and have already declared in Template Summary that it is x64 and 1033 for language setting. I've created a condition as well to give a message '64 bit processor required' if the version is 'NOTVersionNT64'. When I tried to install this set up on 32bit it must give me a message like '64 bit processor required' but instead it is giving me the below message- 'This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.'

How can I customize the above message to give a user friendly message like '64-bit processor needed to run this set up'?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Vidya

No, you can't customize this message.

Windows Installers detects your package is for 64 bit architecture whereas you try to run it at 32 bit message, and displays error message. The same error message is displayed for all 64 bit packages on 32 bit machines.

The only way to customize the message is to use a bootstrapper. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you really need a bootstrapper.
