Write custom messages to installation log file

I want to write some custom messages to the installation log file for debugging purposes. How can I do that? I am using InstallAnywhere 2009.

InstallAnywhere do not support log file modifications, but you can try using this code. You will need to compile it and add it to a jar. Then you can set these three variables and call the class.

$ERROR_STDOUT$ - set the standard out message here
$ERROR_STDERR$ - set the standard error message here
$ERROR_MSGSTR$ - set the custom message string here

For more information on custom code, kindly refer the below KB article.

The below article provides sample code which should configure the installer write an entry into the install log generated during installation by InstallAnywhere.
