Note • To call this function in a Basic MSI setup, you must first create a custom action for the entry-point function, execute the custom action in a sequence or as the result of a dialog's control event, and then build the release.

* InstallShield Example Script

*

* Demonstrates the Delay function.

*

* First, SdShowMsg is called to display a message box and Delay

* is called to pause the script for three seconds.  Then the

* message box is removed and Delay is called again to pause for

* two seconds.  Finally, another message is displayed for three

* seconds.
