WiX: dynamically changing the status text during CustomAction

I have a pretty lengthy CustomAction in a wix installer, and I want to be able to change the 'Status: ...' text while the operation runs, to see that there is progress and update on its internal status. I know how to set the progresstext of a custom action - but what I want is to dynamically change the progress text during the run of the custom action.

The above answer doesn't work for me. The status is never updated.

Directly calling the AddProgressInfo function works in my case.

      Action<Session, string> updateStatusMessage = (session, msg) =>
      {
            session.Message(InstallMessage.ActionStart, new Record("callAddProgressInfo", msg, ""));
      };
