It depends on the version of install shield, but a method I have seen used in the past is to catch the entire output of jadloadb in a C++ dll or exe (by redirecting the output and error pipes accordingly) and then returning the result to install shield. Past versions of install shield a quite limited (and I'm unsure of more recent versions).
