[WiX-users] OnExecuteProgress WS03: progress values go back to 95 from 100

2012-05-17 Thread Bruce Cran
I noticed that on Windows Server 2003 (Windows Installer 3.1) the 
progress values in OnExecuteProgress can go down - they reach 100 and 
then go back to 95 and work their way back up to 100.

Re: [WiX-users] OnExecuteProgress WS03: progress values go back to 95 from 100

2012-05-17 Thread Wilson, Phil
That's probably normal. I don't know the actual implementation, but assuming 
it's based on MsiProcessMessage and INSTALLMESSAGE_PROGRESS the documentation 
says that progress can go backwards.  There's probably a joke somewhere in 
there...
