How do I generate an install log file during installation?
How can I generate a setup.log file to show me what happened during the install of my product?

Hi
One way to do it is via the Installation Designer:
Installation Information > General Information > Create MSI Logs

Thank you for the reply but my executable is not a msi. It is done as an installshield project (install script .exe).

If it's a setup.exe try the /debuglog switch on the command line.
ex. setup.exe /debuglog
This will create the log in the same folder as the installer.
Otherwise you will need to specify the path to a writable folder:
ex:Setup.exe /debuglog"C:\temp\package.log"
