Custom Progress Dialog

Mon Sep 05, 2022 2:48 pm

Hello,

I have created the installer which shows a dialog before the finish dialog and after the installation is completed. The user is given two options to select. Selecting one of these options needs to run a program. This is done by Custom Action. This part is fine. However, while this program is running, the installer needs to show a second custom progress dialog. How to achieve this?

Hello K,

Unfortunately we do not have support for this.

You can try to show such a progress bar from your custom action code. You can try this if you want, but we do not have predefined support.

You can check the Adding Custom Actions to the ProgressBar MSFT article. You may find it useful.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu

Hello,

I understand. However, is there a way to move to the next dialog automatically using Custom Actions? For example, is there a VBScript function to move to the next dialog?

The Display a specific dialog from Published Events does not show in the Init Events.

My idea is to open the custom progress dialog and run a custom action. Once the custom action is completed, it will automatically go to the next dialog.

Hello K,

Unfortunately, this is not possible either. You can control the dialogs only from the Dialog editor.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Liviu
