hi i want to give my customised messages

hi,
i want to know if i can implement this through some way.
while installing a file or folder the installer gives a message on the panel like
installing "xxx.text"
I want to remove this message and give a message like installing
"XXX PRODUCT 10%"

"INSTALLING PRODUCT 20%"
"INSTALLING PRODUCT 30%"
"INSTALLING PRODUCT 40%"
"INSTALLING PRODUCT 50%"
"INSTALLING PRODUCT 60%"
.......
......
....
....
"INSTALLED PRODCUT 100%"
OK to be precise i want to give a customised progress bar
Is this possible by some way.......................

Since IA 8 new APIs (from IS) have been added to IA, so there seem to be this: com.installshield.util.process which has for instance: int getPercentComplete(), setPercentComplete(int percentComplete), setStatusDescription(String statusDescription), setStatusDetail(String statusDetail) and setTitle(String title). You should check the IA doc, as well as this KB entry: http://knowledge.macrovision.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=Q113344&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_HOWTO_1_1&dialogID=4070296&stateId=0%200%204064949

Hi,
i want to know if i can use these :

com.installshield.util.process which has for instance: int getPercentComplete(), setPercentComplete(int percentComplete), setStatusDescription(String statusDescription), setStatusDetail(String statusDetail) and setTitle(String title)

in versions prior to installanywhere 8.0.

I would like to know if i dont have com.installshield.util.process then can i be able to call getPercentComplete() and setPercentComplete() methods in install anywhere 5.5 or installanywhere 6.0 or installanywhere 7.0.
Regards,
James

James, my previous post was pretty clear (at least this is what I thought): it's ONLY starting WITH IA 8 that these APIs are available, so you would need to upgrade to at least version 8 in order to be able to use them.

Hi,
i want to know if i am using a version prior to installanywhere 8.0.
And i am aware that in this case i dont have access to the install shield api' s .

So in this case is there any possible way by which i can include the feature wherein i want to show like this:


installing xxxproduct 10%.........................
installing xxproduct 20%..........................
installing xxxproduct 30%.............................
Any alternative strategy will be appreciated.
james.

Personally, I don't think this is possible with only the IA API.
