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
