RDK Install - Capturing any errors (OpenInsight)

We have a form from which the user installs upgrades to our software. It calls RDKINSTALL(PATH) with the selected source directory. According to the source code in RDKMODULEINSTALL it should output data to a status line on a form and any errors to a dos file called UPGRADE.LOG. I can't seem to get either of these to function properly. Also, it doesn't seem to set STATUS() correctly if something went wrong. Version 3.7 of OI. Has anybody else seen this? Is there any work-around?

Don,
You found a bug of sorts, in which UPGRADE.LOG is not written by RDKMODULEINSTALL unless there were errors encountered during the RDKINSTALL process. This was first reported in OpenInsight version 3.7.
The procedure was modified for release 3.72 to write an UPGRADE.LOG regardless of failure. So, the workaround is to upgrade or get the modified RDKMODULEINSTALL from a 3.72 copy.

[notag]What an interesting and generous precedent. So those who do not wish to go to the 3.72 runtime because of the new licensing can use bug fixes but not features? Thank you. This will make life easier for a lot of developers and perhaps even prevent some from cancelling their Works subscriptions.

And how, prey tell, can one tell the difference between a bug and a feature? I've written a lot of code that has had "features" which my users found for me. An upgrade fixed the "feature" although it resembled a good, old-fashioned bug. Perhaps if it doesn't fly it is a feature??

In the form from which RDKInstall is launched I have a STATUSLINE element that should be able to accept this data and display it as the process moves along. Does this work or am I missing something?
