Answer
A Static Text control, subscribed to the TimeRemaining event published by Windows Installer, must be used.
As an example we will display the remaining time for the current install progress.
Select the ProgressDlg dialog in the "Install Sequence" tree.
Use the
toolbar button to add a new Static Text control.
Select the "Subscribed Events" tab in the "Control" pane.
Use the button to subscribe the control to an event. The Edit Event Mapping dialog will be displayed.
Configure the control subscription as follows:
- Subscribe to = TimeRemaining
- Attribute to set = TimeRemaining
