Archive: instruction to change the ProgressText ?


instruction to change the ProgressText ?
  How about an instruction, say "ProgressText" which will over-ride the default "Extract file : ..", etc. (The text which appears on top of the progress indicator)

This instruction "ProgressText" can be useful if say, the installer has more than one section, each section installing one set of files;
e.g: Section 1 : would be say compulsory (as always...)
Section 2 : would install the help system
Section 3 : would install additional music files
etc, etc...

Obviously "ShowInstDetails" would be set to "nevershow", so the users attention will be on this "ProgressText", and he will always knows which stage of the installation is currently on.

Around version 1.4 (or could be 1.44) there was a modification by someone called as "EdgeWize" which had this instruction. Could we get it back ?

You can use:


DetailPrint "Installing whatever..."

>SetDetailsPrint none
>;Do stuff
SetDetailsPrint both
>
The text above the progress bar will stay on "Installing whatever...".

Yep got it, thanks
