I am not familiar with the VS installer project. But I can recommend the Wix Toolset .. it is extremely flexible.. sometimes too much), but there you can build you r own screens quite easily.

Visual Studio installer project is a limited tool that may not provide this sort of customization capabilities. Some properties should be supported, though, through the "Properties" panel of your installer in Visual Studio.

You can also edit the generated installer, there are tools to edit MSI files directly (like InstEdit or Orca for example). But this is quite time consuming, and probably more suitable for one-time job and not for a continious development process.

So if you want to customize your installer for maximum possible for MSI format, you better pick another tool for creating MSI, like WiX Toolset for example or Advanced Installer. Alternatively, if you are okay with .EXE installer and don't necessarily need MSI, you can also pick NSIS or Inno Setup (if we are looking at the category of free tools). Something like that could spare you some time you would otherwise spend on learning the internals of the MSI.
