Hi

I wrote an application which download a CAB file from the internet and use
ShellExecuteEx() to install it.
My question is, is there any way to find out if this CAB installation was
successful or in whatever state ?
I thought that the CAB installer may send out some kind of broadcast message
after completion of process - whether it is successful or not -, but so far I
couldn't find such message.
Any advice?

Thank you.

With BR,
Daniel Kim

There isn't a standard message. You can write a setup dll to build into your
cab file and then have that do something on install_exit. For example
broadcast a windows message, signal a named event etc
