Dariel,
Here are two c# functions that should help you work with the progress bar from
a managed custom action. If you're using unmanaged c++ code, refer to
WcaProgressMessage as Rob suggested.
public static MessageResult ResetProgressBar(Session session, int
totalStatements)
{
var record = new Record(3);
record[1] = 0; // "Reset" message
record[2] = totalStatements; // total ticks
record[3] = 0; // forward motion
return session.Message(InstallMessage.Progress, record);
}
public static MessageResult IncrementProgressBar(Session session)
{
var record = new Record(3);
record[1] = 2; // "ProgressReport" message
record[2] = 1; // ticks to increment
record[3] = 0; // ignore
return session.Message(InstallMessage.Progress, record);
}
If you get a result of MessageResult.Cancel, it means the user pressed the
cancel button on the progress dialog and you'll want to exit your custom action
cleanly with ActionResult.UserExit.

Dariel, I'm doing this in a managed custom action (c#). I'll post it
here first thing tomorrow.
