a look-alike MS EULA Screen.
Hey All!, please,
When you install a typical MS package on your laptop, MS shows you their EULA Screen with all their text, and you must agree to it.
NOW! How do you make one of these(MS EULA Screens) and supply all your own text, like MS does.
I've been doing it by using dialog boxes with reading my texts into it. I could lose the file.
I'm of the old college and my programming language of preference is "C", with a kick the pants by MSVC(2017) "C++".
Thanks, Skiutah2Carrier.

I'm not sure what your actual question is?
What you can do is actually adding the text to your program as a string.

Note that open-source programs like Notepad++ use another open-source tool called "NSIS", which can present EULAs that you accept during the installation.

But chances are, on windows at least, regardless of the tool, the text is baked into the exe as a resource (perhaps compressed) during compilation, or something similar to that.

Typically the dialog box and EULA text are part of the installer, not the software being installed. It isn't C or C++ related.
Microsoft has an in-house installer program built into Windows. There are also third-party software packages available. Free and paid.

If you are looking at having a EULA type dialog when a user runs your software easily doable with a custom dialog box. Maybe even a custom wizard interface.
The possibilities of using Windows components are almost limitless, only restricted by your imagination and knowledge of Windows desktop programming.
If you have never programmed Windows GUI apps then maybe now is the time to start learning.

"Normal" Windows Win32 SDK desktop programming is done in C, MFC is the C++ framework for Windows app programming.
