1) I want to show the user a screen that there are dependency files that need to be created. The screen will show as list of the dependency files that need to be installed. When user clicks OK, I then want the application to install the dependency files. How do I do this?

2) Where are the log files created when the Application.WriteToLog() function in the bootstrap scripts?

1) I want to show the user a screen that there are dependency files that need to be created. The screen will show as list of the dependency files that need to be installed. When user clicks OK, I then want the application to install the dependency files. How do I do this?

Where do you want this done from? The installer (MSI)? The bootstrapper? What is the purpose of showing them the dependency files? I guess I need more specifics on this one before offering a solution.


2) Where are the log files created when the Application.WriteToLog() function in the bootstrap scripts?

From the help file:

Logging at runtime will only be turned on by the command line switch:

-log:<full path and filename of log file>

Additional logging features include the Application.WriteToLogFile action to write additional information to the log file, and the Application.EnableLog action to turn logging on or off to prevent sensitive information from being written.
