Action - Text missing on intermal Custom-Actions e.g. AI_WinOptFeaturesConfig

The configuration of the Windows features which is executed with the custom action ‘AI_WinOptFeaturesConfig’ takes a very long time (~4 minutes) with my installation. I don't understand why this takes so much time. If I activate the features via Windows itself, it takes less than 30 seconds. Regardless of this, it would be helpful for the user if the action text was displayed during execution. I use the theme ‘Spring - LightSkyBlue’. I see in the project file that there is a definition for this action text but it is not displayed. Is there a way to display it or is it perhaps a bug?

Re: Action - Text missing on intermal Custom-Actions e.g. AI_WinOptFeaturesConfig

Hello René,

What you see in your screenshot is the installationg log being displayed in the Advanced Installer UI.

Normally, a detailed description of what is happening can be found in the log file.

However, if you would like to display some of the actions to the user, please have a look over the following article:

List main actions performed during installation into a user friendly log-like fashion

Regarding the extended time it takes to enable the feature, this is the normal behavior, unfortunately, for the features support.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
