Can I make the splash screen stick around?

[iansmith]

I am testing out InstallAware for the next release of our product and it works great except in the beginning. There are some very long pauses.. over a minute where no dialogs are on screen, and I am afraid users will think they did something wrong and will run it again. The install is huge, so lots of time verifying and copying files around.

So... is there a way to configure the splash screen to stick around until the user can start clicking on stuff?

I ran the install in the debugger and the splash functionality seems to happen outside the scripting system.

Thanks.

I created a Pre-Welcome dialog (non-modal), with no buttons, that I run very close to the top of the MSICode script. It says something like "Please wait the the setup for MyApplication Initializes..."
