Adding a Custom Action's Progress to the Progress Bar

Title

Summary

In order to manually progress the progress bar for MSI installations, you must call some code.

Synopsis

In order to manually progress the progress bar for MSI installations, you must call some code.

Discussion

In a Basic MSI project, this needs to be done via a .dll or possibly VBScript because you need to get a handle to the installation so that you can update the progress bar. This cannot be done with an .exe.
