Unresponsive dialogs - CostingComplete the issue??

I have an oddity that I can only explain to a background MSI process making my dialogs "InstallWelcome" OR "LicenseAgreement" Unresponsive... Now... you may ask, how could that be?? My response... I DON'T KNOW!! However, since there is no set time for clicking on dialogs, I can only state that the problem occurs on one dialog or the other, not both.
In the first instance, my InstallWelcome dialog hung when I tried to click "Next":

In particular, I am trying to understand what could be happening so that my dialog would not be responsive and it took almost exactly 21 seconds to get from "No" to "Yes":

Now to some of my questions, observations:
1. First of all, it seems to be that whatever MSI (c) (88:24) and MSI (c) (C4:EC) processes are, they are causing the problem.
2. In particular, this log snippet seems to be the culprit. If the dialog is active while this is occuring, the dialog is unresponsive, however, if the dialog is created before this occurs, it is responsive:
[CODE]
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CostingComplete property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'.
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: BindImage

MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2727 2:
[/CODE]
3. Why would any of the above processes result in unresponsive dialogs?
4. Also, in both cases of the above log files, why does: InstallWelcome. Return value 1, occur after ReadyToInstall??
Please help me understand this.
I would like to move this process/sequence that is occurring during my UI Sequence to a different spot, perhaps during "SetupInitialization" as part of the ActionData.
However, I don't know what this process/sequence is that is setting the CostingComplete property, so I cannot move something that I don't know what it is 😞
And I also have no idea how BindImage, PublishComponent, SelfReg and Font are all occurring during my UI Sequence and why that seems to be making my dialogs unresponsive.

Action ended 8:20:49: InstallWelcome. Return value 1[/CODE]
Now to some of my questions, observations:
1. First of all, it seems to be that whatever MSI (c) (88:24) and MSI (c) (C4:EC) processes are, they are causing the problem.
2. In particular, this log snippet seems to be the culprit. If the dialog is active while this is occuring, the dialog is unresponsive, however, if the dialog is created before this occurs, it is responsive:
[CODE]
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CostingComplete property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'.
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: BindImage
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: PublishComponent
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: SelfReg
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Extension 3: -2147287038
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Font
MSI (c) (88:24) [13:58:55:367]: Note: 1: 2727 2:
[/CODE]
3. Why would any of the above processes result in unresponsive dialogs?
4. Also, in both cases of the above log files, why does: InstallWelcome. Return value 1, occur after ReadyToInstall??
Please help me understand this.
I would like to move this process/sequence that is occurring during my UI Sequence to a different spot, perhaps during "SetupInitialization" as part of the ActionData.
However, I don't know what this process/sequence is that is setting the CostingComplete property, so I cannot move something that I don't know what it is 😞
And I also have no idea how BindImage, PublishComponent, SelfReg and Font are all occurring during my UI Sequence and why that seems to be making my dialogs unresponsive.

While I can't answer the entirety of your issue, I figured I might point you toward the documentation on CostingComplete that might provide a hint:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368049(VS.85).aspx
Essentially, it looks like this property is set by CostFinalize. If the thread suddenly appears after that standard action and never shows up again then it could be a costing issue on the local machine. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't document the type of actions this thread would be taking.
Specifically, though, it looks like authoring some kind of "Please wait" dialog to show up during the dialog sequence might make sense. There's a sample here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367760(VS.85).aspx
I'm not sure if this is specifically your issue, but you might try seeing if this does alleviate the dialog woes you're encountering.

Bryan,
Thank you so much for pointing me in this direction... you are a gem!!
I was just in a google search for CostingComplete and found my own post with your response!!
Grrr...I think it is so odd that Microsoft says that "The CostFinalize action ends the internal installation costing process begun by the CostInitialize action." yet, they also give you the exact steps necessary to spawn a dialog just in case their costing is not complete.
Anyhoo, I am doing as they suggested, and Spawning a dialog that says "Please wait while disk space costing is completed." for both the "Next" button on the "InstallWelcome" and on the radio buttons/Next button on the "LicenseAgreement" dialog.
I'll rebuild and test on Monday! This would be awesome if it at least gives the user a better feedback system!
If I run into any other weirdness, I'll reply to this post!
