Hi, I'm building a MBA and I noticed that I should probably make calls to SendEmbeddedProgress/SendEmbeddedError when my bootstrapper is run in UI-less/embedded mode (during the uninstallation of the previous version in an uninstallation, for instance). However, there are three progress events on the Engine, ExecuteProgress, CacheAquireProgress and Progress. All of these have a ProgressPercentage and an OverallPercentage parameter. Should these be sent straight into SendEmbeddedProgress? I'm asking because looking at the Burn source, it seems to be handled differently in BalBaseBootstrapper (src\libs\balutil\inc\BalBaseBootstrapperApplication.h) and WixBA (src\Setup\WixBA\ProgressViewModel.cs): In the C++ version, all three call SendEmbeddedProgress, although only Progress updates the actual values being sent. There is a comment on the two others, "Send progress even though we don't update the numbers to at least give the caller an opportunity to cancel" In the C# version though, only ExecuteProgress calls SendEmbeddedProgress, and then sends the ProgressPercentage from the event, but averages with a cacheProgress: this.Progress = (this.cacheProgress + this.executeProgress) / 2; // always two phases if we hit execution.
What is the correct approach here? Best regards, Carl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
