I'm very new to Wix and MSI installers in general, so forgive me if
this is an obvious question. I have the need to launch an external
installer before finalizing the install of my application. My reason
for launch the external installer before my application finalizes is
because I would like to rollback all the changes that my installer made
upon the external installer's failure. I have it working, for the
moment with a custom action that just runs the installer that I have
included as a binary element. I've even added ProgressText to the
action so that the user gets to see what is happening. My problem is
that the external installer doesn't advance the progress bar at all,
leaving it at 0% until it finishes. I'm hoping that there is a way to
associate the custom action that I made with the progress bar in a
similar fashion as I did the ProgressText. I know that I can use a DLL
to do the work for me, but that seems a bit overkill for my needs. All
I want is to move the progress bar to 5% or so before executing the
external installer. Thank you so much for any responses! |
