ShowMsiLog

[bezpal]

Hi!
In Basic MSI project I'm trying to get to show MSI log at the end. It is enabled and everything, ShowMsiLog condition is "MsiLogFileLocation And (ISSHOWMSILOG="1") "
However, nothing happens :confused:
Below is fragment of the msi log. It shows "ShowMsiLog. Return value 1631"
Any idea what this may mean? Why log is not showing?

Thanks much!

I’m not sure that it will help, but try to add ISSHOWMSILOG (with value 1) to the Property Manager instead of changing it during installation.

Well, I've tried to set ShowMsiLog condition simply to 1 i.e. it should alwais show. However nothing happened :rolleyes:
Could it be related to Vista UAC?
I have checked Event Viewer as well but can't find anything related.

Here is another fragment of the Msi Log

For XP (32-bit) and Vista (64-bit, I presume 32-bit as well), notepad.exe exists in WindowsFolder as well as in SystemFolder. However, on Windows Server 2008 (32-bit), notepad.exe exists only in SystemFolder. So, you will want to change WindowsFolder to SystemFolder in the custom action.
