Since the DetectProcess custom action does not do a looped check, I created a .NET DLL for this w/c accepts message text, message title, and wait time in between checks, since the message comes w/ a Retry button.
My only problem is the message text and caption are not localized. I read from this topic that this can be done via installer properties but there are no instructions on how to exactly localize the installer properties.

Re: How to localize installer properties for custom action
Hello Albert,
Use case: Let's say that we have a property as it follows:
Name: MY_PROP
Value: Hello
In order to localize its value, you can proceed as it follows:
1. go to "Install Parameters" page
2. double click on the earlier created property
3. right click on the value field --> "Localization..." and select the following option:
Always translate this string - Using default localization identifier
4. click "Ok"
After doing so, please go to "Translations" page --> "Project Strings" tab and set the property value for your language.
Every localized property will have a Localization ID. For instance, the Localization ID for our earlier created property will be:
Property.MY_PROP
For instance, if we have two languages for our projects, i.e. English and French, we will have to set the localized property's value for the french as it follows:

Hope this helps.

Oh, I didn't think to right-click on that field. Thanks for pointing that out!
