Thanks Stefan,
I tried using that, and the Progress Text in the dialog shows "Removing Backup
Files" during the execution of my slow custom action, it never renders my
text...
Heres what I have:
<CustomAction Id='DEVENV_SETUP'
Property='DEVENV8'
ExeCommand='/setup'
Return='check'
Execute='commit'
Impersonate='no'
/>
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="DEVENV_SETUP">Configuring Visual
Studio... (this may take a few minutes)</ProgressText>
</UI>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="DEVENV_SETUP" After="InstallFiles"
>1</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
My CA is definitely executing, I can see its process start and chew away at 15%
CPU for 3-4 minutes, but the progress text just stays on "Removing Backup
Files"...
Thanks

Hi Adam...
You should use the ProgressText element
<ProgressText Action="YourCustomAction">Description of the custom
action</ProgressText>
Of course you can also use the $(loc.LocalizedDescription) notation
for the description (in conjunction with .wxl files)
Regards
Stefan
