In VBP V6.7, and in the versions up to V7.2 that I can find, output seems to be cached such that if a program runs and outputs messages, they are not output until either
o The step is completed
o The output reaches some threshold
In my build, I cut down "noise" output by modifying the home-grown utilities that my build runs, but when I did so, I received NO output until the step was completed. This makes it impossible to tell the progress of the bulds with my new non-verbose messages, which is not at all what was intended.
I'm running this build on a Virtual PC 2007 XP system, and can't easily migrate it to an actual computer, so if that's the problem, I hope you don't mind that I wasted your time.
