Creation of log file

[Kmadhavan]

Hello Robert,

I have a requirement to create a log file. This is a Basic MSI project and i am not creating a setup.exe file to launch .msi instead i am creating a stand alone .msi file. Now, the requirement is when the user double clicks on the msi file the log file should be created in his temp folder.

Note : user should not use the command line to create the log file.

Thanks for any suggestion

Your described requirements can be done with MSI 4.0 or later, which is currently only available on Vista, by setting the MsiLogging property: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370322.aspx

Our IDE supports this, but again it will only currently work on Vista. For all previous versions of MSI you need to specify a command line, which can be done manually, or by our setup.exe, or by some other custom launch process.
