Thanks for your reply. I tried adding <ProgressText> elements in the
<UI> section of my wxs, but it hasn't made any difference.
Could you give me some more information about how I should set the
attributes of the <ProgressText> element to get it to add strings to
the uninstall dialog box?
Here's the exact code I added:
<UI>
...
<ProgressText
Action='RemoveFiles'>
$(loc.UninstallProgressText)
</ProgressText>
<ProgressText
Action='RemoveFolders'>
$(loc.UninstallProgressText)
</ProgressText>
<ProgressText
Action='RemoveIniValues'>
$(loc.UninstallProgressText)
</ProgressText>
<ProgressText
Action='RemoveRegistryValues'>
$(loc.UninstallProgressText)
</ProgressText>
<ProgressText
Action='RemoveShortcuts'>
$(loc.UninstallProgressText)
</ProgressText>
</UI>
where "UninstallProgressText" is the id of a string defined in my wxl file.
Alex
