Getting progress events from WiX Deployment Tools Foundation

Question

How can I get install progress events using the WiX Deployment Tools Foundation Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Installer.InstallProduct()?

I do not want any kind of UI, just an event that I can handle. I see references to the InstallMessage enum, which has a Progress member, but I'd like to see an example of its usage.

Answer 1

Call Installer.EnableLog with InstallLogModes.Progress and Installer.SetExternalUI before Installer.InstallProduct. The delegate gets messages including InstallMessage.Progress.

Answer 2

Download the source to WiX and look in the src/DTF/Samples/EnbeddedUI project.
