Just wondering -- is there a way to detect a failed installation (while the installer is running)?
Eg, when I set the installation to perMachine, and the installation fails and the log points out that it's due to lack of Admin privileges, obviously I could make a utility that scans that log looking for any error. But as it is, it gives no obvious indication to your user and he clicks on "Finish" but realizes nothing got installed. I would like to throw up a message-box or enable a field on the last dialog.
Depending upon the particular machine, the user may get that UAC indication, but some configurations do not show that indication, or, the installation might fail for other reasons.
As always -- I deeply appreciate your work in building and supporting this great project. Thank you.
gratefully thine,
