Download Resource Hacker - then open up setup.exe from the root of the Windows XP CDROM - you can then explore the settings and commands from there.

Try experimenting by changing the existing as it is much more difficult to add commands - it is well worth it!

one more tip, in the case that you master progromming skills, you can try to create your own install welcome screen.

Why reinvent the wheel?

MS have produced an excellent 'setup.exe' - you can (with Resource Hacker) change the bitmaps, logos, icons and links/paths to executables and web pages.

I cannot see any reason why you would want to create a new 'Welcome Installer' from scratch

it's true, but in the case you need to add some specific effects or functions, that the original installer cannot deal with, to that installer. anyway, you are right, in most cases we don't need to do that.
