 Use the ProgressText element to add a row to the ActionText table. Note

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

And another related question. I have multiple deferred CAQuietExec actions. 
Is possible detect which of them had failed and display corresponding error 
message ? I tried to use the action value as a condition without a luck.

Not really. When the CA fails, MSI rolls the install back. If you need 
finer-grained control than that, you'll want a DLL CA.

[WiX-users] Displaying status text for CAQuietExec action ?

2006-10-02 Thread Petr Vones
Hi,

Is there any way to display status text next to the Status: label just 
before a CAQuietExec action is started ? It looks misleading when an action 
takes a long time while the dialog displays nothing (someone could think the 
installation is locked up). I don't need to update the progress bar.

Thanks, Petr

Use the ProgressText element to add a row to the ActionText table. Note 
that ActionText works only for actions that are in a sequence table and 
that are run in the installation script. And it's one CA per string, so 
if you have multiple CAQuietExecs, each will get the same action text.
