Long wait while decompressing files

Hi.

I have a query related to the installation process. After the Pre-requsites have installed, I get a Windows Installer message saying "Preparing to install..." However I have to wait about 5 minutes before this moves on to installing the application files and media folders. The reason is that there are about 2000 media files which have to be decompressed etc.

Does anyone know if there is a way that I can put up a message telling the users that they will have to wait about 5 minutes before the program copies? This would stop impatient users from cancelling, thinking that the process had frozen.

thanks.

Re: Long wait while decompressing files

Hi Don,

I'm afraid that this message cannot be customized because it is shown automatically by Windows Installer.
