4.2. Reporting
The report resource manages 3 types of pop-ups that may appear during installation.
Pop up messages (Normally only non-critical, informative messages)
Warning messages (If something might go wrong)
Error messages (In the case of an error)
Example 4-2. Reporting Behavior

Depending on your experience, you can skip, log and show (with timeout) those messages. It is recommended to show all messages with timeout. Warnings can be skipped in some places but should not be ignored.
The default, the settings in auto-installation mode is to show all messages without logging and with a timeout of 10 seconds.

Note that not all messages during installation are controlled by the report resource. Some critical messages concerning package installation and partitioning will still show up ignoring your settings in the report section. Mostly those messages will have to be answered with Yes or No. |
