In following MSDN's page on the ActionText table I populated the ActionText table with ...
Action--Description--Template
===================
Rollback--Undoes actions.--[1]
RollbackCleanup--Removes old files.--[1]
GenerateScript--Generates system operations for action.--[1]
... and I also added more rows where the first column contains the name of an Action from InstallExecuteSequence that lies between the InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize actions, the second column contains some descriptive text, and the third column contains something like [1] or blah: [1]
In fact, I have a row for every one of the Actions that are sequenced between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.
- How do I get these entries in ActionText to show as status messages near the progress bar in basic UI mode?
- What does the number 1 refer to in the Template?
Thanks in advance for your help. I feel like I'm missing something very basic even though I've been reading the documentation.
