How do I get a verbose log?
I'm new to InstallShield - have upgraded my install from a previous employee who was using v12 - I am using 2009 Professional. I can't find my verbose log anywhere. Looking through the InstallScript (I am using an InstallScript MSI project) I don't see the line to create a verbose log - but I'm not sure exactly where I would find it either (I am searching and coming up with nothing).
Can anyone give me specifics on where I would find the line to create a log, and what the line should say, for 2009?

You can create verbose logs for InstallScript MSI projects by launching the setup with the following command line:
setup.exe /verbose"C:\PathToLog\LogFile.log"
You can also enable the Windows Installer logging policy in the registry, however, the resulting output will be multiple log files instead of a single log, and some information from the script engine will not be logged.
setup.exe /verbose"C:\PathToLog\LogFile.log"
