Debugging in silent mode

How can I debug a silent installer? Is there any way to do printf/messagebox type output?

The DumpState plugin might work.
Alternatively you can open a file in the code and write to it.
Easy way- write to an INI file. Make up a section name and the key names can be sequential numbers.

Apologies, dumb question. MessageBoxes are working fine.
