MSI LOg Issue
I am using Installshield 2009
I have created one Basic MSI installer. As long as I run it on a machine where Installshield is installed, I am able to get the Installation log file. However, when I use this installer on a machine where no installshield is present, I am unable to get any log file. I want to enable this logging feature . How can I do so.
Thanks in anticipation

How are you running the installer on each of these machines? Please describe any command line, double-clicks in explorer, or clicks in the IDE that are relevant.

Thanks Michael,
I am installing by double clicking on ".msi " file.
I have used "Single MSI Package" as the installation Image type in Project Assistant.

Look at the help library topic "MsiExec.exe Command-Line Parameters". The /l parameter describes the logging options.
You'll probably want to use a command similar to
msiexec /iproductname.msi /l*v %temp%\msilog.txt
to create a log file called msilog.txt in the user's Temp folder.

There are a number of ways how you can create a log file of an installaton, depending on your situation. See http://www.msifaq.com/a/1022.htm for details.
