Bug ID: 39359 Summary: No msi progress dialog Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: computerwhiz02@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 52455 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52455 windows dialog
When I install WINE Mono, I don't get a dialog with a progress bar that displays text such as Preparing to install, etc. WINE's implementation seems to be missing this really useful feature.

I'm using WINE MONO 4.5.6 in WINE. Also, if I launch the setup in Windows, it does have a progress barr.

Either way the dialog doesn't show up in WINE.

--- Comment #5 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com --- Installing Wine Mono on Windows is not a good idea, it'll interfere with .NET Framework stuff. Wine Gecko may be a better test case.
From what I understand, it's not really possible to create a .msi file that
doesn't display any UI by default when run on Windows, but we'd probably want to disable that UI in the addon install code anyway.

You know on Windows when installing some apps, a window pops up saying configuring, preparing install or please wait. That's what WINE is missing. This app shows the dialog. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347 It will show Please Wait and then it will change to configuring. Under WINE it shows nothing.

--- Comment #9 from Jared Smudde computerwhiz02@hotmail.com --- See Please Wait - XP and Configuring - XP to see the dialogs I am talking about. These dialogs do not appear at all in WINE which causes me to believe that WINE's Windows Installer implementation is lacking this nice feature. It's kinda confusing to launch the installer but see nothing happen.
