Those would be templates used by ActionData messages.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371614.aspx
The specific values for each number would be dependent on how they are used.
I recently tried using this technique for my own progress messages in a custom
action, but the WixUI progress dialog doesn't present ActionData messages, and
I didn't feel like creating my own (the progress dialog is referenced too many
places).
As a "hack" of a fix, I have my custom action just sending multiple ActionStart
messages instead. The trick is to change the custom action name each time,
otherwise it only shows the first one. I know this is probably bad form, but
it works. Here it is in C#:
public static MessageResult UpdateStatusText(Session session, string statusText)
{
var record = new Record(3);
record[1] = "MyCustomAction_" + DateTime.Now.Ticks;
record[2] = statusText;
record[3] = "";
return session.Message(InstallMessage.ActionStart, record);
}
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but thought I would share for
all.
