I meant a C++ custom action that called the Win32 function Sleep(). That would be very simple - no C runtime library dependencies, no need to worry about rollback, etc. Regards, John - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [WiX-users] Induce Sleep in the MSI script
I also need a sleep command during setup. What is the WiX custom action to sleep, i.e. delay operations for a certain period of time? Thanks very much!

Re: [WiX-users] Induce Sleep in the MSI script
Use a custom action to play some soothing music? Maybe turn down the LCD backlight? Or did you mean one of the following? 1. Wait for a defined time -- i.e. ::Sleep(milliseconds) or Thread.Sleep(whatever) 2. Put the computer into standby. I'm joking around, but you'll need to be more specific.
