How to display the remaining time for the current progress sequence?
The following article uses options that are available starting
with the Enterprise edition and project
type.
In order to display the remaining time a Static Text control must be used which will be subscribed to the TimeRemaining event published by Windows Installer. As an example we will display the remaining time for the current install progress.
The following steps must be taken:
- Select the ProgressDlg dialog in the “Install Sequence” tree.
- Use the toolbar button to add a new Static Text control.
- Select the Subscribed Events tab in the “Control” pane.
- Use the button to subscribe the control to an event. The Edit Event Mapping Dialog will be displayed.
- Configure the control subscription as follows:
| Subscribe to | Display action data during install |
|---|---|
| Attribute to set | TimeRemaining |
