I developed an installer, but there is one problem with status bar. when the process percentage is 100%, the file transfer is still going on and sometime take some time to end, the lasting time depends on machine speed. Does anyone know of the reason?

In my code, I call the following functions:

// set up default status
SetStatusWindow( 0, "" );
Enable( STATUSDLG );
StatusUpdate( ON, 100 );

Hmm, not sure. It might be trying to write out some of the supporting information for maintenance mode. However, try calling this enablement instead:

CODE

Enable(STATUSEX);

'cause that's what I use and mine work just fine.

Also, have you tried stepping through it with the debugger to see what's going on? Check out the help topic "INFO: Debugging a Setup on a Test Machine" to see how to do this on your non-development machine.

Good luck.

Hi

when I change the second line
from Enable( STATUSDLG );
to Enable(STATUSEX);

the installer works fine. The problem is I need a progress indicator instead of a status dialog. I will display billboards above it. Can I have other choices?

I don't know as I've only used STATUSEX. The fact the other one behaves that way sounds like a bug, so maybe update to IS 6.31 if you haven't done so already.

I guess just go through the whole set (i.e. STATUS, STATUSDLG, STATUSEX, STATUSOLD), and see which one you can live with.

Regardless of which one you choose though you can still display billboards using the PlaceWindow function.
