Can't find MSI Log file

I have an MSI InstallScript project and I have my Property set to Create an MSI log, I am installing on Vista however I have searched the hard drive and have been unable to find the log file. What is the name of the log file and where does it reside?

The MsiLogging property discusses the MsiLogFileLocation property, which will tell you the location of the log:

I checked out your link, but the only way I can generate a log from my install is to do it from a command line. With the Log Property set to Yes, My InstallScript MSI project does not create a log file after the installation is run when installing on Vista. If I check the Property in the Direct Editor, MSILogging is set to voicewarmupx. Any reason why this is not working as designed?

Go to START and type in %temp%. This will show your temp directory. View details and sort by date. If you have set the voicewarmupx value in the registry correctly then the log file should appear here.

Thanks for the information, by typing %temp%, I can see all of the logs
