Ahh thanks a bunch Blair, my script indeed output some text while executing for logging purposes, so then I assume that no output should be returned from the script except for the exit code? How do you know when something goes wrong from reading the log file? Is it possible to achieve?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec64 log output to log file Your string starting with 8? is the output from the script (with '?' used for all unmapped chars).
