How can I create a simple installer

[apex52]

How can I create a simple gui box with a button which when pressed changes the gui without launching an entirely new one, like if I wanted to add a new button or change what the original button said. Similar to the way a installer works when navigating through the menu's. Thanks.

What have you coded so far?

GUICtrlSetData()

How about something like this? A little technical for someone who is new to AutoIt, but you get the point.
