The second custom action must be an immediate execution custom action that informs the ProgressBar how many ticks to add to the total count during the acquisition and script generation phase of the installation. This custom action should complete your custom installation and send the amounts of individual increments to the ProgressBar control when the installer runs the installation script.

For more information about creating an action display dialog box having a ProgressBar, see Authoring a ProgressBar Control.
