Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply!
The problem is that I must get rid of all the warning, otherwise the central building server in my corp will reject my code :-(. And it is odd that although this warning exists, the MSI package works perfectly, that means, the tooltip string is shown completely during the installation! If it puts the string into the table, is there any way to re-configure the table property so that it can hold longer string? Thanks!
