I have only a couple of observations: 1. Using MsiSetExternalUIRecord works better because you get a number of records that you can inspect rather than trying to decode message formats. Each record contains process, file name I think etc. If you actually want a message then MsiFormatRecord() w

You're wrong about dotnetinstaller. You can chain together any executables, MSI's, MSP's & MSU's using it. Doesn't need to specifically be pre-requisites. If you want an external UI and don't want to use dotnetinstaller or something else already written, write your own. Good place to start would b
