Update progress bar from custom action
Is there a way to update a progress bar on a custom dialog for a long running VbScript custom action? I wanted to show progress as I run a complicated script so that the user knows something is happening. Is this possible and if so, how is best to do this?
Re: Update progress bar from custom action
Hi,
A progress bar subscribes to the SetProgress ControlEvent, but it can also subscribe to a ControlEvent named after the action being monitored. Therefore, you can try to edit the MSI with Orca and subscribe the custom progress bar to a ControlEvent with the same name as your custom action. However, I'm not sure if this will work.
A better solution is to affect the main progress bar of the installation. Please note that there is another thread which may help you:
