Dennis.Morisseau asked a question.
silent installs and SdShowMsg
I have an InstallScript project that I've scripted that calls SdShowMsg a number of times to let the user know about various actions happening during the installation process, such as configuration events, launching third-party setups included with the product, etc. My problem is that when I run my installer in silent mode, I lose these messages and there is no indicator to the user that anything is happening other than the hourglass on the screen and the desktop shortcuts being deployed.
Is there a way to get these messages to display in silent mode?

You got two options..
1. Whereever you are calling SdShowMsg, use inbuilt flag if (SilentMode - I think it is available for Installscript projects).
2. Build a wrapper around your installation and call SdShowMsg in the beginning and end.
