是否可以在Windows的静默安装中显示错误

Question

I have a created an installer using WiXStandardBootstrapperApplication. The intention is to run it silently and I do that using the /quiet flag and it runs silently just fine. The way it runs is, as soon as I enter the command on the command prompt the control returns to the command prompt instantly and the installation happens at the background. So if there are any errors or even in the case of Success, I don't know whether it completed fine or for what reason it failed. In linux, I can run a command silently and the console will show the progress of what are the things that it is doing. Can I do something similar in Windows? I initiate the command and the logs are displayed on the console or at the very least a Success or Failure message is shown on the console window before it stops the execution.

I am aware about the messages being logged in the log file but wanted something to come on the console itself. Thanks for your help in advance.

The point of /quiet switch is to have a silent installer. That contradicts the requirement to show any UI. If the installer encounters any errors, it will return exit code other then 0. Details about the failure are in setup logs.

WiX does not do any console logging.
