but without doing it from command line, by just clicking the msi, does it create the log to a default location? Is so, what is that default location for both XP and Vista? In the InstallShield there is an option for logs, Create Logs=Yes, I set this to yes all the time, but no idea where the logs go if I dont specify it on the command prompt.
At least at Vista, there must be such a location, because at the end of the install it asks if I would like to view the log for the installation.
I believe the "Create MSI logs" option is for Windows Installer 4.x or later. Prior versions will ignore this setting. The location of the log file is generated by the Windows Installer engine and stored in the MsiLogFileLocation property at runtime.
FOr more information please reference "Specifying Whether Windows Installer Installations Should Be Logged" in the InstallShield help library.
