Hi Chunyan, I do not know that you can add any progress bars during the time that the custom action is being executed, but at least you can add some text to let the user that something is happening. Look at the ProgressText element. The documentation on this one is minimal, http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_progresstext.htm. You can use it something like this:
<ProgressText Action="Custom Action Name"> Custom action description for user to see (e.g., Restarting necessary services) </ProgressText> -Zach Zachary Young, Configuration Engineer Entriq, Inc.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to connect Custom Action and Progress dialog Hi Wix-users, In my install package progress dialog works fine for installation, like copying new files. The progress bar is growing during the installation. However, when I call the Custom Action, which takes pretty long time, the progress bar is always empty, untill the Custom Action is over, the progress dialog dispears, and the next dialog shows up. How can I connect my Custom Action with Progress bar, instead of only showing the empty progress bar? The Custom Action is called as: <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" /> <Custom Action='VPAdminInstall' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Regards, Chunyan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
