If it is possible just add some Thread.Sleep(3000); or some WinAPI analog like ::Sleep(DWORD); to simulate long process work, in this case you'll be able to see the text. Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] Progress Text update Hey wix users! I have an installer which uses the built in "WixUI_InstallDir" dialogs. I also have some deferred custom action running between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. What i am trying to do, is display an update message in the ProgressDlg when a custom action is executing. Correct me if i'm wrong, but is the following code all i need to display the message? <ProgressText Action="EventLogConfiguration" Template="!(loc.EventLogCreationProgressBarMsg)"/> <ProgressText Action="EventLogConfiguration_Rollback" Template="!(loc.EventLogDeletionProgressBarMsg)"/> <ProgressText Action="EventLogConfigurationDelete" Template="!(loc.EventLogDeletionProgressBarMsg)"/> <ProgressText Action="EventLogConfigurationDelete_Rollback" Template="!(loc.EventLogCreationProgressBarMsg)"/> etc. the above is defined under the <UI> tag in my main file, and the action attribute is set to the ID of each of my custom actions. Let's forget for now about updating the progress bar, is the above enough? I can't see the messages, maybe it's too fast to be able to realise that it's showing the message.
