USMT Progress

[japolonio]

I am building a GUI for Microsoft's USMT utility. Once running USMT tracks its progress in a text file. I tried running a timer every second on the file to append the text to my richtextbox form. For some reason it will only display the text once the whole process is done, not while its running. Here is my code

COMMAND

$timer1.Start()
$ScriptPathLocation\ScanState.exe "$BrowsePath\$SplitUser" /i:"$ScriptPathLocation\MigApp.xml" /v:5 /i:"$ScriptPathLocation\MigUser.xml" /Progress:"$USMTLogLocation\Progress.log" /l:"$USMTLogLocation\USMTScan.log" /o /localonly /c /ue:*\* /ui:$SelectedUser
$timer1.Stop()

$timer1_Tick={
$DisplayProgress = Get-Content -Path "$USMTLogLocation\Progress.log" | Out-String
$ProgressTextbox.AppendText($DisplayProgress)
}

To track a command that outputs dots or other messages as progress in a console you would use the JobTracker custom control and use the UpdateJob script block to update teh form based on the output returned from the job.
