The ActionText table contains text to be displayed in a progress dialog and written to the log for actions that take a noticeably long time to execute. The text displayed consists of the action description and optionally formatted data from the action.
The ActionText table has the following columns.
Column | Type | Key | Nullable |
---|---|---|---|
Action | Identifier | Y | N |
Description | Text | Y | |
Template | Template | Y |
Primary table key.
The entries in the ActionText table typically refer to actions in sequence tables. However, there are other "pseudo-actions" performed by the installer that are not listed in the sequence table but still require text to be specified in this table. These required entries are listed below. The action name and template must be authored exactly as given, but the description may be customized.
Action | Description | Template |
---|---|---|
Rollback | Undoes actions. | [1] |
RollbackCleanup | Removes old files. | [1] |
GenerateScript | Generates system operations for action. | [1] |
