Description zikmund 2004-01-28 17:30:14 UTC 
Build 200401271900-ismp5
How to reproduce:
1) Run installer
2) See progress bar at the startup page
3) ERROR:
it goes several times to the end and then jumps
again to the beginning ... user knows only that
"something happens" but doesn't know the time it
will take.

Notice: maybe it's InstallShield bug, but I don't
think so (I didn't noticed this behaving in other
nonNB installators).
Comment 1 George Hernandez 2004-01-28 17:40:36 UTC 
The progress bar that is displayed before the installer window is
displayed is an installshield window. The behavior of this window is
to fill up the progress bar then to restart the progress bar, etc. So
the progess bar cycles for a set period of time. This allows the user
to see that something is happening until the main installer window
appears. I know it's confusing the first time you see it. I was! So we
either keep this to show the user something is happening or we remove
it and let the user wonder what is happening. I prefer to keep the
progress bar. Your thoughts?
Comment 2 zikmund 2004-01-29 19:58:03 UTC 
I agree.
Comment 3 George Hernandez 2004-01-29 23:40:54 UTC 
Will leave as is and mark this as invalid.
