How to change the Header info (text) in NSIS at run time?

I am using NSIS i.e., null soft to create a windows installer. All working fine, but I need to change the header info text while installer is running.

For example:

In header info Now I am getting as follows,

Installing, Please wait while...

But I need to change this info or text like Please wait... or any text. Herewith I have attached the screenshot and marked in red color. Please suggest some solution.

Solution 
  • !include MUI.nsh
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT "Blah blah"
!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_SUBTEXT "Sub blah blah"
#!define MUI_INSTFILESPAGE_FINISHHEADER_TEXT "Blah blah completed" ; You only need this if MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES is the last page
#!define MUI_INSTFILESPAGE_FINISHHEADER_SUBTEXT "Sub blah blah"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English

    Edit: And to change it during the install process:

    Section
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Hello" "world"
Sleep 3333
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Still" "there?"
Sleep 3333
SectionEnd
