Commandline for building logfile:
install:
msiexec /i "Yourmsi.msi" /l*v c:\logs\Yourmsilog.txt
and uninstall:
msiexec /x "Yourmsi.msi" /l*v c:\logs\Yourmsilog.txt
Where c:\logs is an existing folder. If you want to run InstallShield's MSI log analyzer rename the txt file extension to wil.
MSI log analyzer can be found in Installshield - Tools - MSI log analyzer
Hope this helps,
Walt

ah... These command lines work on the msi that is encapsulated in your setup.exe.
To give these commands to the msi through your setup.exe you need to use the /V parameter like this:
setup.exe /v "/l*v c:\logs\Yourmsilog.txt"
Same for uninstall.

You can also include this /l*v "c:\logs\Yourmsilog.txt" command in your project.
Releases View > Setup.exe tab >> MSI command line arguments.
This would log even if you double click on setup.exe and install/uninstall

Depending on the MSI version you're using, there's also General Information > Create MSI Logs.
