Re: Bootstrapper "Install" button takes a long time to transition to "ProgressDlg"
hi Catalin, I removed "Verify and set selected folder path" as you suggested, and it still runs the InstallValidate action (with the big delay). Actually this is something I tried a few days ago, and tried again, just to make sure. I also went into Custom Actions / Show Standard Action and...

Pre-Req return codes
I'm building my own pre-req - to do weird but necessary things during the pre-install phase, during both silent (/qn) and normal installs.
