I'm modifying the sample installer provided by the BURN source code. I have been successful in creating a custom UI and some menu's, but, I have failed at attaching the progress bar to the status.

I have noticed that CacheAcquireBegin, CacheAcquireProgress, CacheAcquireComplete do not fire therefore my local progress variable does not change from 0 to anything.

In ProgressViewModel, I do see:

WiXBA.Model.Bootstrapper.CacheAcquireProgress += this.CacheAcquireProgress;
WiXBA.Model.Bootstrapper.CacheComplete += this.CacheComplete;

Which to me, would indicate that there are handlers attached to the functions that would generally post status messages. Everything else seems to work, i.e. the installation, the dialogs, etc. I just can't seem to post any progress.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks.

As per this answer CacheAcquireProgress is used to track the progress of downloading/copying of each package into the package cache. Your installer may not need to cache the packages, which is why this step is not firing.

The Progress event gives you overall installation progress.

The ExecuteProgress event gives you progress for an individual package during the install.
