When I try using 'asyncNoWait' I get: error CNDL0038 : The CustomAction/@Return attribute's value, 'asyncNoWait', cannot be specified without attribute ExeCommand present.
What I don't understand is that I would think the SpawnWaitDialog would need to run in its own thread waiting on the condition to be met (hence the name spawn) allowing processing to continue and the CA to be called. But from all my tests so far it seems it will display the dialog if the condition has not initially been met but it does not allow processing to continue so it can be taken down. Is there some simpler method to allow me to put up a Please wait dialog while a long CA is running and then have it taken down. I'm getting to the point of putting up the dialog in the CA itself but I would rather keep the GUI portion in the installer itself. If that is my only choice do you know how to get a hold of the Installer's window handle so I can make the dialog a child of it?

The problem is that you need to launch the CA, then spawn the wait dialog; the dialog doesn't return until the wait condition is true, so you can't show it then call the CA. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
