I use C++ CAs so I don't know anything about using batch files or scripts.
You can look at the wix source code fro examples of doing this.

In my fragment that defines my say I add a ProgressText/@Template like this:
    <UI>
      <ProgressText Action="MyAction" Template="[1]"
>!(loc.MyActionDescription)</ProgressText>
    </UI>

In the CA you use
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370354(v=vs.85).a
spx

In a wix C++ CA I first call  er =
WcaProcessMessage(INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONSTART, hRec); with a record that
initializes the ActionText template, and then in the loop that has changing
data call er = WcaProcessMessage(INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONDATA, hRec); with a
record that reflects the updated data.

message - Non C# CustomAction

Hi All,

                I am using a lot of Non-C# Custom Actions[deferred] in my
Installer project. By default, the progress bar is not displaying any
message while these CAs are executed. I want some appropriate message to be
displayed while these CAs are getting processed. How do I achieve it?

                FYI, I use these Custom Actions to call some batch files
which in turn will execute the DB scripts.

                Any help/guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Regards,
Ravy
