I have a setup that first install a prerequisite (.NET framework 4.0), so, on this prerequisite installation window I'd like to change the InstallShield icon to one personalized one, and change the window title too.

Is that possible?
From the InstallShield manual:
Setup.exe Icon File
To use your own icon for the Setup.exe file, specify the fully qualified name of the file that contains the icon. To specify a file, type an absolute path or a path that is relative to a path variable, or click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to the file from within the Change Icon dialog box.
By default, the icon with index 0 is used; to specify a different icon, either select an icon in the Change Icon dialog box or append the icon’s index or resource ID (preceded by a minus sign) to the file name. For example, C:\Temp\MyLibrary.dll,2 indicates the icon with an index of 2, and C:\Temp\MyLibrary.dll,-100 indicates the icon with a resource ID of 100.
If you leave this setting blank, InstallShield uses a default icon for your Setup.exe file.
InstallShield 2013:
You must first build a release - and at that do so by using the project assistant Build Installation Screen and the Build Installation button at the bottom of that (those details tripped me up). After that, click the "Installation Design Tab", then expand "Media" and click "Releases". Then select a release (which only appears after you've built one!), and click the "Setup.exe" tab. There you will find entry an in list of properties where you can specify the "Setup exe Icon File".
On an immediately related note, you can change the name of the setup.exe file too. In the tree where you selected the release, is a parent level, i.e. "Product Configuration 1" or "PROJECT_ASSISTANT" - select that. In the "General" tab, there is a property called "Setup File Name". By default, it is just plain "setup". Change that to whatever you want, e.g. "MyProgramSetup".
