In the bootstrapper the burn engine is tacking on: Action <time>: CustomAction name. progress text
I don't believe I can change the first two elements (Action <time>:) I am just using straight forward strings to describe what the custom action is doing, my dev manager wants to filter out the extra fluff. As well I have 5 merge modules and any CA progress text from them the custom action name is: Action <time>: CustomActionName.MergeModuleGUID. progress text which makes a very long string which gets cut off because of the GUID being tacked on. Here is a "normal" progress text I have: <CustomAction Id="CA_Set_DbBackup" Property="CA_DBBACKUP" Value="[DATABASE_NAME]|[DATABASE_SERVERNAME]|"/> <CustomAction Id="CA_DBBACKUP" BinaryKey="BIN_CustomAction" DllEntry="BackupsDatabase" Impersonate="yes" Execute="deferred" Return="check" /> <UI> <ProgressText Action="CA_DBBACKUP">CA: Backing up the database...</ProgressText> </UI> This would display: Action <some time>: CA_DBBACKUP. CA: Backing up the database... Be nice to just have: CA: Backing up the database...
