Thanks Bob - i hadn't used Orca in quite some time and I had no idea it had a dialog preview capability.

Re: [WiX-users] "Pause" the PrepareDlg dialog?
Oh I just came up with an idea - have you tried scheduling a custom action
directly after your PrepareDlg that sleeps for a few seconds? I used this
and it seemed to work:
Product.wxs:
1
CustomAction.cs:
using System;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
namespace ManagedCA
{
public class CustomActions
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult Snooze(Session session)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
return ActionResult.Success;
}
}
}

Re: [WiX-users] "Pause" the PrepareDlg dialog?
Oh, if you just use the source from WiX's PrepareDlg and use your own custom strings, then shouldn't it be identical? Sorry I haven't provided exactly what you're looking for, just trying to give back to the WiX community by helping out :) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4663008.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

However, as i mentioned in the first post - we've customized PrepareDlg with our own text string, so i was hoping to get a snapshot of ours running ;-) Appreciate the info and you trying though. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4662909.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I think the default text starts with "Please wait while the Setup Wizard prepares to guide you through the installation".If i google around, that seems pretty common for PrepareDlg too.That's the one i mean. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4662802.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [WiX-users] "Pause" the PrepareDlg dialog?
Why not just take a screenshot the moment the dialog pops up? If you've never done it before, hit the PrtScn button on your keyboard to take the screenshot and then press Ctrl-V in any program that accepts images (MS Paint does the job). -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4662579.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

It's too quick to capture via screenshot.So that's why I was hoping for a way in the UI code just to cause it to pause so i can debug this -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4662611.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[WiX-users] "Pause" the PrepareDlg dialog?
Hi all, I know the PrepareDlg pops up (modeless dialog) briefly at very beginning, but is there a way to 'pause' it there or slow it down from disappearing so fast? I want to check one thing out on the layout and it disappears too fast for me to tell. We have our own PrepareDlg defined (with a custom text string) and if i get rid of the modeless part and make one of our other dialogs point to "PrepareDlg", it looks great. However, when run normally it flashes onscreen at very beginning briefly, and from the glimpse i can see something looks "off" so i want to slow it down/pause it so i can verify. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pause-the-PrepareDlg-dialog-tp4661534p4661534.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
