Is the lack of output actually a bug? How do you get it on Windows? I tried a few ways to run regsvr32 and /s does suppress message boxes, but does not produce any output to cmd. Error to load dlls, or failed function calls all are reported via message boxes. Same with wscript. However cscript does print to the cmd, as it should.
agreed, this is not Windows behavior for regsvr32, and the target is that all output should be migrated to user32 dialogs for regsvr32.
But 1) there's seem to be some demand for not breaking the existing behavior (and ease scripting integration in Unix world), 2) I don't want to put on the critical path the changes for the migration to GUI interface.
note still that there are some others native GUI which output to std (msiexec IIRC)
