I have several CA with possible MessageBox(es).
For instance I have a CA which checks whether a process is running and suggests to kill it if the user wants.
What is the best to do to avoid all MessageBoxes when I run a silent install?
Is there a way to know from within my script in which mode the installation is started?

Yes, you can check the value of the UILevel Property.

For this aim I use Session.Message method.
This method automatically runs in silent mode (messages go to the log).
For example:

For example:
| CODE |
iNum = Session.Property("DIRMSIMSGNUMBER") iButtons = Session.Property("DIRMSIMSGBUTTONS") Set oRec = Session.Installer.CreateRecord(1) oRec.IntegerData(1) = CInt(iNum) svRez = Session.Message(CInt(iButtons), oRec) oRec.ClearData Set oRec = Nothing Session.Property("DIRMSIMSGREZ") = svRez |
This code gets iNum - number of exception from Error table
iButtons - buttons to show (the same as for MsgBox function).

I prefer MsiProcessMessage / Session.Message.
This function detects invisible installs and acts upon that. More important: in case of a full UI, you know for sure that the message is not shown behind the main window.

I thank you for your help.
I used the function MsiProcessMessage successfully.
For the silent install I found out that the function returns '0', which enables me to manage specific actions in this mode.
I noticed that the message strings were sent anyway to the log file in silent mode.
Do you know if there's a way to log some messages for specific modes only (silent install for instance)?
Thanks in advance

You could embed your logging code in an if statement that checks the value of the UILevel property.
