Installation log file not showing the status of installation like success/failure
Hi All,
I hope everyone can help me, i am struggling to find the installation is completed successfully or failure using installation log generated by /l*v. I used Basic msi with 3 features. When i was installing the package with UI mode i can able to see the status of installation, but i tried to install the same setup with /qb-! (silent mode) the installation log file is not showing the status of package install. Please help on this for me.
The below statement will appear end of file.

MSI (c) (0C:84) [10:32:40:652]: Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1
MSI (c) (0C:84) [10:32:40:652]: MainEngineThread is returning 0
=== Verbose logging stopped: 5/21/2013 10:32:40 ===

The line containing MainEngineThread is returning 0 indicates the exit code that will be returned by Windows Installer. A '0' in this case would be a successful installation that does not require a reboot. A general failure would show 1603; a user canceled install would show 1602. Other return values are documented in the following MSDN article:
