File copy informations not printed in $PRODUCT_NAME$_InstallLog.log

Hi ,
My installer log has not given the file copy information in the $PRODUCT_NAME$_InstallLog.log file like the following.

Install Directory: /xyz/app/install/db/
Status: SUCCESSFUL
Additional Notes: NOTE - Directory already existed

Install File: /xyz/app/install/db/bin/myexecutable
Status: SUCCESSFUL

Install File: /xyz/app/install/db/bin/myexecutable.sh
Status: SUCCESSFUL

But this is a typical case. It has been printing these informations everytime till this time. However all the files were copied into respective locations but it printed nothing in the log except just one line. The directory copy information is there but not the files inside it.

Install Directory: /xyz/app/install/db/
Status: SUCCESSFUL
Additional Notes: NOTE - Directory already existed

This installer was run in linux 5.3. I am wondering does it have anything to do with the os or system configuration. Please help me out. Quick response required.

When you say linux 5.3, you mean RHEL Linux 5.3? If you don't see those files being logged as copied, then this might mean that by default your installer is set not to overwrite existing files or to overwrite them only if newer (which is not the case, as your reinstalling over an existing installation).

It actually overwrites the files (I can see the file timestamp and size changing) .
But it did not write anything into the log. Though 2nd time re-installation did print everything into the log. But i am confused why it hasn't printed anything in the log first time. Have anyone ever come across such issues ??
