Progress feedback when running program
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 5:25 am
I have an installation where I am calling several programs (developed in .NET) silently. Do I have any possibility to receive feedback from these programs?
I know that I can write a plugin in native Win32 language (http://forums.installaware.com/viewtopi ... e2acd58e55) and let this plugin receive feedback from my .NET program. However, this seems complicated. A simpler solution should be if I can write progress messages to a text file, registry key, memory mapped file etc and InstallAware was able to refresh a dialog with this information.
