Matt, thank you! I had nearly the same thing, but was trying to follow the steps on the site. Having the immediate and deferred custom actions is what was causing me problems.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Update progress bar from deferred custom action 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.
