Logging
I'm working on an InstallScriptMSI project.
I've read that if you create a registry key called "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InstallShield\ISWI\3.0\SetupExeLog" and give it a value of "VerboseLogFileName"="c:\\InstallLog.txt" that a log file is created whenever the installation is run.
Is there a way to add my messages to that log file?
Or is there a better way to get optionally log information?
