    Putting CR into message strings... (v1.x)

    Hello!

    Using v1.x.

    I thought I could put \r\n into my strings to lay them out, but it seems not to be working.

    E.g.

    Code:
    <String Id="ResumeDlgDescription">Installing [ProductName]. \r\n\r\nPlease click Install to continue.</String>
    Problem:
    The "\r\n\r\n" is showing up on the installer UI....

    How can I do this?

    Thanks!!!

    Instead of using escape sequences, insert actual newlines direcly into the string, like so:
    Code:
    <String Id="ResumeDlgDescription">Installing [ProductName].
    
    Please click Install to continue.</String>
    (If you're doing this in the dialog editor, you can just press the Enter key to insert the newlines directly into the text...)
