This worked...but as I said, I am executing various sub-Actions inside my Custom action. Ex: I am firing 5 sub-actions inside my first CA. For every sub-action, I want to send status to the UI. Using the below progressText, Text is shown as soon as I fire the CA. Is there any other way, I can send the status of my various sub-actions status to be displayed on the installer UI.

Subject: [WiX-users] ProgressText during Custom actions Execution Hi, I am calling my Custom actions After InstallFinalize Event. Thing is that, I am doing various actions inside my Custom action and it takes some time to execute all of them. Rather than user waiting to see what is happening, I want to send the Progress Text to Installer screen. Please do let me know how to send the status. Suggestions are appreciated.
