OK, made a plugin by myself.
Now a Delphi-question. I need to install a application, like
msiexec -p "somepackage.msi" /silent /noreboot
How can I check if everything went ok?
If someone has an example in any other language, please help....

Hmm, might be best if you use the built-in
(Un)Install MSI Setup plug-in for that. It already features:
* full command line support
* full install/uninstall support
* full progress capture
* pretty much everything else
No need to reinvent the wheel

If i use the Install MSI Setup the msi-package can't be in a media block. Or how can I achieve that?

Good point. You may use the Bundle Files plug-in available on this forum to put the MSI in a weblock. Or you may use the Download File plug-in to download it dynamically.

The problem of Download File that it makes the Single Setup pretty useless and i cant see how Bundle Files will solve my problem...

Bundle Files does exactly what you want - it adds files to a project as sort of "support files", but can put them in web media blocks. So you can serve both single and web builds automatically with it.

Just a question, Bundle Files has a result value. What can be the possible result values?

I do not know - I believe the plug-in author should be able to help.
