Yes, that can be done. I didn't choose to do that initially because all the errors that will occur are mostly fatal errors, because the manifest doesn't validate, command line errors...etc.. So, I thought it will be useful to have them display on the screen so people can see it immediately. Since this is not crucial for the 2008.11 release, I would prefer to file a bug to get this fixed post-2008.11 code freeze. That way, I don't block others from the DC team from integrating in the next couple of days. Is that OK? Thanks, --Karen
