I have a question on the MSI API. I need to monitor user responses to an MSI installation session. I am planning to use the responses to create an MSI transform that I could apply to the original MSI to create an unattended installation.
Can I use MsiSetExternalUI to capture user responses? Any examples, pointers to further information is greatly welcomed.
Thanks

have you tried creating the transform with some specific msi software, such as wise or installshield...
I'm 80% sure you can create transforms in Orca (which is free), but I'm not in the office so it's not 100%
Cheers.

If you switch to an external UI you lose the internal UI, so I guess that's not what you want. You probably would have to hook into the dialogs and capture the property changes. I don't know how InstallShield is doing it but their product includes a tool for that purpose, so somehow it's possible.
