Wait Dialog Hangs / Deadlocks

[LoboMgr]

Hello,

I ran into an anomaly where I followed a Wait Dialog Display (Open) with another (instead of Wait Dialog Update Status Text). My install script hung.

Admittedly, this was a sloppy mistake, but it's not clear to me what is the difference between a Display and and Update condition. I mean, if a Wait Dialog needs to be posted, then it should be smart enough to do that automatically. If one is already posted, then update the text.

Or is there another use case that I'm not understanding?

I'd also claim that allowing a hang situation is not a reasonable state. Either update or ignore, but don't hang.

Thx.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this on any of our machines. A "Display Wait Dialog" should always close a previously opened wait dialog.

The following works fine here:

Display Wait Dialog
Display Message Box "We are here 1" -- ""
Sleep for "2" seconds
Display Message Box "We are here 2" -- ""
Display Wait Dialog
Display Message Box "We are here 3" -- ""

Would it be possible for you to send us a small demo script?

Thanks,
