Native Progress Bar
hi I'm trying to make a progress bar on the transition page between MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY and MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES so i decided to make my own custom page + the progress bar.. (the idea is i want to check jre, and while the installer is checking - i want to display this progress bar).I've tried several different options to create this progress bar.I've used MSIBanner plugin, LoadingBar UI extension.. but none of those looks as part of the installer.. it looks like something else.. i was just thinking if can i define my own MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES then that would make it better(because i can have one that is ment for checking - only displaying the progress bar and after that go to the real INSTFILES for file extraction) or is there any better idea..so that we can somehow make it look like a section in the installer...

Thanks,


You can execute your JRE related at the beginning of the first Section being executed in INSTFILES so that you could then control the native progressbar using the RealProgress plugin.

A lot smoother and easier than creating your own page.
