Subject: [wix-users] Identify Silent Install Completion

If I execute silent installation of MSI using the command *msiexec /qn /i <MSI> /l*vs MSILog.log* from the command line or powershell, I am not sure how to understand it is completed or not. Currently, I keep refreshing to check if the log file size has changed from 0 to a considerable size. Is there a better way to identify if silent installation completed or not (both manually & programmatically)? Please help.
