The problem here is that you did include Microsoft products - like the VFP runtime - in your application. That caveat really can't be removed, since you have no way to avoid this. The copyright information provided in the Setup Wizard screen is included in the Help/About box.

The MS caveats are built into the Setup component, and aren't alterable.

You can use a different tool to create your setup application, but you still need to give the user an indication that there are MS components included in your distribution. This is especially true if you've used MS components beyond just the runtime - the ODBC drivers, HTML Help components etc. have separate and distinct limits on redistribution.
