But for default dialogs such as the Canceldlg(which has been really bothering me with its awkward y position), you can't just set the NoPrefix Attribute to its text control.
Actually, an interesting that I saw was that the references to [ProductName] in some of the "bigger" dialogs(WelcomeDlg, ExitDlg...etc) are shown correctly so I guess the NoPrefix is set in those dialogs, but not in CancelDlg. I don't know how it works but would this be a bug in WiX or the Windows Installer itself?
