The lengthy CA validates the users credentials via a web service which can take upwards of a minute on some systems. I validate the credentials during the UI phase so that there are no errors during the install phase, (Background the entire install takes over a half an hour to perform because it loads several hundred thousand records into a SQL server db, then puts reports onto a SQL Reporting Server, as well as configuring IIS etc...). My initial installer just goes out to lunch while validating the user's credentials when pressing the next button and finally displays the next dialog. All I would like to do is just display a "Please wait validating..." message while the CA is running and take it down when the CA is finished.

Let me take a step back from the details and see if I can understand what you are trying to do in a larger context. What does this lengthy CA do? Why does it need to be in the UI? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
