I'm trying to create a custom message box saying something like "Loading" or "Extracting" during the Extraction of temporary files in InnoSetup. Is this possible? If not, please come up with suggestions on how I can proceed.
I'm extracting the files temporarily because the files are installers. Otherwise, I would have to extract them into for example documents, run them, and then remove them after my installer is finished.
After extraction, I'm using a batch file to run the different installers from tmp.
Anyway, what I'm struggling with is that After I've created a Form and a label for that form, the label is displayed first when the "ExtractTemporaryFiles" is finished.
This is my code:
`[Code]
var
ResultCode: Integer;
Form: TSetupForm;
Label1: TLabel;
function InitializeSetup: Boolean;
begin
Form := CreateCustomForm;
Form.ClientWidth := ScaleX(500);
Form.ClientHeight := ScaleY(500);
Form.Caption := 'Loading.. ';
Label1 := TLabel.Create(Form);
Label1.Parent := Form;
Label1.Caption := 'Extracting.. ';
Label1.Left := ScaleX(16);
Label1.Top := ScaleY(16);
Label1.Width := ScaleX(224);
Label1.Height := ScaleY(32);
Form.show()
end;
end;
procedure DeinitializeSetup;
begin
Form.showModal()
ExtractTemporaryFiles('{app}\*');
if Exec(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\')+'{app}\runAll2.bat', 'runascurrentuser', '',SW_SHOWNORMAL, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode) then begin
MsgBox('Finished! Press ok', mbError, MB_OK)
end
else begin
MsgBox('Something went wrong! Press ok', mbError, MB_OK)
end;
end;`
Can you please help me out guys?
