Can't log in real time MSI Install/Uninstall

[Arkalis]

Hello, i've some problems with my chained MSI. I'm trying to check the log of my install with this command :

msiexec /i "application.msi" /L*v "C:\application.log"

The log work fine, but when i try to check the log with theses applications :

- Tail for Win32
- TailXP
- MakeLogic Tail

Theses applications cant show in real time the log make by msiexec
I can only see : hieroglyph caracters under theses applications.

Do you know why ? Perhaps the log msi is protected while msiexec install my application ?

Thanks

I can't speak to exactly how Windows Installer creates those logs, or those programs, but this sounds like it may be a simple Unicode vs ANSI issue. Do those programs not support Unicode files, and is the log file itself in Unicode?
