I am installing an MSI on a remote machine via the WMI method 
Win32_Product.Install. After invoking Install is it possible to get the 
installation progress via WMI or some other remoting mechanism? I'd like to 
report the status back up to another application, ultimately displaying a 
progress bar.



I know MsiInterop can provide installation progress, but I don't think it can 
work remotely.

I also took a look at the Deployment Tools Foundation (DTF) in the WiX SDK 
directory, but I don't see any way to do this using that either.

I'm afraid I will have to resort to using a remote agent to kick off the 
install, and report progress back to the agent's controller. Lots of moving 
parts there I'd like to avoid.

Thanks,
Mark
