Hi I am creating an installer using WiX that contains about 13500 files spread across about 720 components. I am not sure if this is a lot or not, but the installer can take quite a while to calculate the costing. The part that makes this annoying is that when the installer starts up, the Prepare Dialog will have text that says "Computing Space Requirements", which is fine. However, once that is done and the user is allowed to click through to the license agreement, another Dialog gets spawned when they accept saying "Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements." This is because the CostingComplete property has not been set to 1 yet. The user is then forced to wait another few minutes while this finishes before they can move on, which is annoying. I would like to move all the waiting the user has to do to the beginning of the installation, instead of them having to wait a couple of times throughout the dialogs.
So my question is: Can I somehow tell the Prepare Dialog to wait until CostingComplete=1 before it goes away and displays the Welcome Dialog? Is it at all possible to spawn a wait dialog automatically from the Prepare that waits until CostingComplete=1, or does it always have to be tied to the user pressing a button? Could I write some kind of custom action that will force the dialogs to wait around while the costing is happening and then return once the CostingComplete=1?
