I pull that string from default anaconda launcher. If they change it, it will 
change also in the button. I proposed it here:

Right, that's exactly what annoyed me.

Of course other approaches are possible. I could force Shell to display desktop 
icons and put the launcher there. But then the livecd environment would be 
substantially different from installed environment and that's a bad approach. 
The install button can also be put into the user menu in the upper right 
corner, it's just not as visible there. Overall the button on the top bar was 
easy enough to implement and also the best idea I was able to come up with.
