[wix-users] MSI Progress Messages on Windows 10 1703

[Christopher Painter]

That does seem to be the case.  Without that UIRef I don't have an ActionText table or I have with with a handful of records that I define for any custom actions I have.  With that UIRef I have many entries.


The WI SDK does in fact say stock values are used based on the ProductLanguage property (which I do have defined as 1033).  And it appears to be some what true... it's just failing to format them.   I made a simple MSI using my node_modules\@angular directory ( many files  many megabytes ) and for a long time during the install I see:


Status:      Copying new files File: [1], Directory: [9], Size: [6]


When I add the UIProgress I just see


Status: Copying new files



which is slightly strange to me considering the template is: File: [1],  Directory: [9],  Size: [6]



But I can ignore this as people won't notice it as "wrong" and I can now answer my customer on how to fix the "wrong" he is seeing and update all of my templates.


Thank you very much my friend.


Chris

I've seen various reports of that too. One question on StackOverflow was
self-answered, claiming that adding <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText"
/> solved it for him.

Wix ProgressDlg not showing status info properly<https://stackoverflow.com/q/44844248/89999>

Am setting an installer for our application using Wix. Am using WixUI_Mondo dialog set. The problem is that ProgressDlg is displaying the status like this: Status: Copying new files: File: [1],




Per the description here of WixUI_ErrorProgressText, it sounds like perhaps
Windows stopped providing the stock messages?

UI Wizardry. And here comes the real magic. WixUI has five different flavors, depending on how sophisticated you want your user interface to be:




(I haven't had a chance to look into this, but if you confirm, I'll nudge
some people to make sure my employer's product either isn't affected, or
gets fixed.)
