Text File Creation problem in custom code action

[palanisamy]

Hi,

I used the following code to create text file during the preinstall state,


String fileSep = File.separator;
svFile = proxy.substitute("$INSTALL_LOG_DESTINATION$") + fileSep + proxy.substitute("$PRODUCT_NAME$")+ "_inst.log";
objFile = new File("svFile");
if(!objFile.exists())
{
objFile.createNewFile();
}

I run this script using Java it's working fine , but same code is not working during the preinstall scenario.

Please help.

thanks for reply pv7721

Actually i want to log the string input and return value of java function,

If there is any other way to log, please help.

The installation log is created only when the installation has finished.

I wrote a little custom code to log from my java methods, the output goes directly into the installer log.

public static void doLog(InstallerProxy ip, String header, String text) {
CustomError error = (CustomError)ip.getService(CustomError.class);
error.setLogDescription(header);
error.appendMessage(text);
error.log();
}
