Background-Update during install??

[Jason Pate]

There are a few Session Varables that appear on the background image, what I want to do is update the footer message during the install, I am making a slient install, and would love to give the users some kind of status via the background window. I am open to other suggestions, this is a .Net project, I modifed the .net dependancy so it installs sliently but it takes forever, also other actions during the installs are slient, but take sometime, usually this wont be a problem but some people just need to see status during the install any suggestion I would appericate.

From a few quick tests that I ran it looks like you cannot update these background session variables dynamically. This being the case I cannot see a way to accomplish your goals.

I will add this to the suggestions list.

Thank you Adam.

Just a thought...

Why not use the Status.Dlg messages to update the user during a silent install instead of using the background image?
