How do I capture the output from a custom action that executes a .exe program. I'm going to call stsadm.exe to deploy a Microsoft SharePoint solution file. I need to be able to check for a successful or Error message from that .exe call.

Thanks,

Mike

Bump! Is this not something that is normally done? Please help!

Which type of "output" do you mean? Does it write text to a console window? Or do you mean the exit code from the exe?

Stefan, it writes text to a console window.

Thanks,

Maybe you can redirect the output to a file, something like:
program.exe > file.txt
