Progress Status during silent install
Hi,
I have a wrapper writen in other language which calls the installershield installer in silent mode.
Is there a way i can show the progress status in my wrapper application.
if so, how can i get the progress satus from installershield to show it on my wrapper application?
Thanks
Antriksh

Once your have compiled your installation then InstallShield is no longer in the picture. At the point you have an MSI (assuming you are using Basic MSI project here) and it runs under Microsofts MSIEXEC.EXE engine. In order to interface with the MSI and get its Progress messages you would have to use MsiProcessMessage and look at the INSTALLMESSAGE_PROGRESS value. See the information from Microsoft here.
