ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for monitoring and routing status messages to another process running on the same or a different computing system during the installation of one or more applications are provided. With the apparatus and method, one or more objects can monitor the progress, log events, status message, etc., generated during an installation, silent or otherwise, of one or more products. Monitoring includes a Status Listener object and a Status Producer object for the installation application. The Status Producer object obtains status messages, progress indications, and log events from a vendor supplied installation program. The Status Producer object then forwards these messages to registered Status Listeners that implement the Status Listener interface. The Status Listeners then forward these messages to their associated external processes which may be located on the same or a remotely located computing system.
