+ * \par Implementation Notes
+ *    To write to the installation log, we use a call to MsiProcessMessage with message type INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO.
+ *    The text to be written needs to go in a "record" (yes, a database record) that acts as an argument vector.
+ *    For the message type we're using, we need only a record with a single field.
+ *
+ * \sa MSDN "MsiProcessMessage function"
+ *    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370354%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
+ *    MsiProcessMessage is mostly for user interaction with message boxes, but it's also the access to the installation log.
