Progress bar for prerequisites?

Hey, I'm working on a project now where I'll need to do a silent install of a few prerequisites. The silent install of the prerequisites works fine. However, since this might take some time, I would also like a progress bar thats updated as each new prerequisite installs. What's the best way to accomplish this? I thought about using custom actions, but I couldn't figure out how to interface that with the prerequisites. Is there a better way?

Thanks

Re: Progress bar for prerequisites?

Hi,

Newer versions of Advanced Installer should show a progress bar for the prerequisite installation if:
- the "UI Level" combo in the Software Prerequisites tab of the "Prerequisites" page is set to "Basic UI and progress"
- the prerequisites are configured for a silent installation

Are you using the latest version of Advanced Installer? If so, is your project configured this way?

Regards,
