Hi all,

Is using Batch API from hook_install discouraged?

On installation, my module retrieves 9 files from the Web, parses them, and enters some information into the database. I wanted to use Batch API to do this.

It is working in the Web interface, but when I try to enable my module with Drush, I get the following error
WD php: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by      
(output started at /drush/includes/drush.inc:797) in
drupal_goto() (line 677 of /drupal-head/includes/common.inc).

I wanted to use Batch API because some people with slower connections might have timeout problems when retrieving the files and because it is a neat way to tell the user what is happening. 

Is there another way I should be doing this?

Thanks,
Lin
