Hi Friedrich,

My master installer runs sqlexpr32 to install MSSQL 2005 Express. As you know it can take a while to bring up its UI because of unpacking and housekeeping.

After the files are installed, I want to display a dialog window telling the user that the MSSQL installation will happen next; User presses next; run the SQL installer with wait and display a dialog window that the SQL install is in progress and when it finishes move automatically to the Finish Dialog.

I have looked for "General Purpose" display dialogs but I couldn't find one.
How do I include this process in my master setup?

Regards
