Log stream in command line.

[ryannick]

Hi,

Can I get the log stream, live, in command line ?
I mean, when you compile with IS interface you got all logs live.
Can you get the same in console mode ?
I want to notify user what's happening right now.

Cheers,

Yannick.

What type of project? What kind of information do you want to display to the end user?

I'm trying to display the same thing as InstallShield shows in the console when compiling with InstallShield Interface.

I'm building a basic MSI project, from VBScript.

You compile a project with InstallShield IDE you'll see a bunch of text like :::

Created release folders
InstallShield Script Copiler
Version 14.0.0.162
Copyright 1997-2006 Macrovision Europe...

Compiling...
setup.rul
Linking...
Setup.inx - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I want to get those and to display it live to a console (from which I'm compiling the project with a VBScript)

Thanks.

I'm not sure you can access it from VBScript, but there are StatusMessage events (from the ISWiProject object) you can catch in other languages; please search these forums and the help for "StatusMessage" for experiences others have had...

Thanks alot,
That's what I was looking for. But I've been working on that all day long and still doesn't work :s
I tried it in C#

[CODE]class Program
{
ISWiAuto14.ISWiProject ISManip = new ISWiAuto14.ISWiProject();

public Program()
{
ISManip.StatusMessage += new ISWiAuto14.__ISWiProject_StatusMessageEventHandler(OnMessage);
}

void CompileProject()
{
if (ISManip.OpenProject("C:\\Program Files\\Macrovision\\IS2008\\InstallShield 2008 Projects\\MonTest\\MonTest.ism", false) != 0)
return;
ISWiAuto14.ISWiProductConfig cfg = ISManip.ISWiProductConfigs[1];
ISWiAuto14.ISWiRelease rls = cfg.ISWiReleases[1];
rls.Build();
}

void OnMessage(String message, ref bool bCancel)
{
Console.WriteLine(message);
}
}[/CODE]

It builds, but my CallBack function for the StatusMessage isn't called.

I got it worked...
If it can help anyone.

I was handling Project Events... But i needed to handle release event...
So by replacing :
ISManip.StatusMessage += new ISWiAuto14.__ISWiProject_StatusMessageEventHandler(OnMessage);
with
rls.StatusMessage += new ISWiAuto14.__ISWiRelease_StatusMessageEventHandler(OnMessage);

I got it worked.
