  • Is there not a way I can get alerted (an event) when output happens at the console. It seems like if I use the StandardOutput property I'll have to wait till the process exits. Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 13:09
  • You can spawn a new thread that will raise an event when it finds some output Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 13:10
  • Do you think it's acceptable to do the wait loop on the HasExited like I posted? Should I sleep inside that loop or just let it fly? Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 13:49
  • If you use the loop you should definitively sleep, otherwise you will soak up a lot of CPU doing nothing. The 80 char truncation is inherent to powershell, iirc. Instead of using a loop you can use this: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… Commented Jun 13, 2012 at 14:30
  • OK, I thought sleeping would be a good idea. I just want to get the output as the PowerShell executable writes it to StandardOut. Waiting till exit to get all the output is not really ideal as the whole point of this is to not only log this in the installer framework, but to show the current status/output to the user.
