There were issues a while ago with Windows XP builds. I believe they were all fixed. Maybe that build is old enough to have the issue. Try a later build and see if that helps. On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 12:18 AM, Pasquale Fersini basquale.fers...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry Rob, but I take that

[WiX-users] How to read / output the progress of light or pyro

I would note that most progress displays play havoc with IDE's trying to parse error messages. Most compilers don't have them for that reason. The last compiler I had that had such a progress display was Meridian Ada DOS and that is more than twenty years ago now. -- John Merryweather Cooper
