+The using of configuration XML files gives flexible way to modify the
list of products to be installed by the Installation Wizard without
-changing program's source code. Just create your own configuration file
-and implement installation scripts for products you want to be provided

-<p>The <font color="#ff0000">Installation Wizard</font> was built with
-using of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Trolltech's</span> <b><i>Qt
-3.3.3 </i></b>library. The program contains
-several pages. To navigate between pages use <i>"Next"</i> and <i>"Back"</i>
+changing program's source code. Just create your own XML configuration
+file
+and implement installation scripts for thepre-requisite products you
+need and then use this XML file with the Installation Wizard. This can
+be done, for example, for some <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Linux
+</span>platform which is not supported directly by the Installation
+Wizard. See <a href="#xml_files">Modifying XML configuration file</a>
