[wix-users] How do I know if a quiet burn install succeeded?

[Mark Itzcovitz]

I know "start /wait" works for msiexec but it doesn't seem to work for burn installers - all that happens is that you get another command window and the installer doesn't run.

Thanks,

Mark

You can use "start /wait" to wait for completion. Don't know if errorlevel is set in that case...

So if I run it with /quiet I don't know if it succeeded without checking the log.  More to the point, if the package is being pushed out to PCs with some system management software, how will it know if it succeeded?  I imagine this is a common requirement so I hope someone will tell me I'm missing the obvious...
