Hello
Advanced Installer mostly used for single file-installers and worried me for long periods during the installation where there is no additional progress and information what is going on. Mostly this happens when installing large files, and Prerequisites (in silent mode). Is it possible that the installation occurred, such information as is currently installed file or Prerequisites?

Hi,
In order to achieve what you want you can run the package with basic user interface.
If your package is an MSI, you can go in the Install Parameters page and check the "Limit to basic user interface (simple progress and error handling)" checkbox.
If your package is an EXE you can set its user interface to basic by going in the Dialogs page, select Bootstrapper UI and choose "Basic UI and progress" from the "UI Level" combobox. Also, in the Media page at the "Bootstrapper Options" group set the "MSI Command Line" to "/qb".
Let us know if it helped, otherwise give us more details about your scenario.

Re: More details during installation
Thanks for reply, but you misunderstood me.
I mainly do one-file installers with high compression. When I add some "Prerequisites" (such as Directx9c, .NET, VCRedist etc.) and they are installed at the same time ("post-install") with parameter "Silent install", there is no useful info about progress for user. User could think that nothing happens because he see fully filled progress bar and static text for a quite long time. He really doesn't know what happens at this moment. Is it possible to display which one "Prerequisite" is currently installed, so user will know what is installed at this moment?

Hi,
Sorry for misunderstanding. Unfortunately we don't have predefined support for this.
As a workaround you can create your own custom action with this functionality.
A very good example of how to do this can be found in the Updating Action Text in a VBS Custom Action thread.
