Refreshing the UI

[hans]

I'm trying to follow http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... ialog.html - "Without Enhanced UI".

I've created a script with one function:
Session.Property("MYPROP") = cstr(10)

Under Custom Actions I've added both the script and the UpdateMsiEditControls action. Both are executed synchronous.
I've added a button with 2 published events to my dialog (in the following order).
1) DoAction MyScript
2) DoAction UpdateMsiEditControls

When i press the button, nothing happens. If then click next and then back, I can see that MYPROP has been updated to "10".
What am I missing to refresh the dialog while shown?

I also tried using the Enhanced UI, which works, but I prefer without the need for the bootstrapper

Hi,

Can you please specify the type control are you using for displaying the property?

Hello,

Can you please send us the .AIP (project) and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Best,
Mihai

I'm seeing the same behavior in 8.2 and still in 8.3 this morning.

Hi,

This is caused by a limitation in Windows Installer. Please try this:
- select the button which runs your custom actions
- create a SetProperty control event which sets the property to itself, for example:

Code: Select all

Name: [PROPERTY]
Argument: [PROPERTY]

- make sure that it's scheduled after your script, but before UpdateMsiEditControls
-save and build your project

Regards,
Cosmin
