Abstract
Monitoring silent installation of a subordinate program on one or more data processing systems. While the subordinate program is being installed silently, at least one activity associated with the installation is monitored. As each activity is performed, a status report regarding the progress of the installation is updated. The process of updating the status report is performed independently of any installation program associated with the subordinate program. The status report is displayed to a user so that the user knows that the installation of a primary target program has not hung during installation of the subordinate program.
