We have created a Suite installer , which has exes(created using Installscript MSI project) as packages We need to generate a log file for this Suite installer . Present if we want log file for suite installer we are running suite installer through command line and passing command line parameter “/debuglog"C:\SuiteLogFile.log"”. Do we have any option in Suite installer to generate log files( similar to MSI Command-line Arguments we have in Installscript MSI project)?
Add a 'CustomerLogInfo' action. It's easy enough to add things to the suite log using SuiteLogInfo in an InstallScript action, but I wanted our own log. I got this done by creating a New Exe Action for each line I wanted to log. I can't post the details because it violates posting rules of this forum.
In my case I wanted just my stuff in the log. I started generating the log with a preinstall event (bat file), which recorded a lot of info about the server, SQL version and instances, etc. So I saved the log filespec in a registry key. In the Suite I added to that log with an EXE event for each thing I wanted to log. Then I added more to the log in a post install event (another bat file). The registry key was needed because I was logging from 3 different entities. (the registry hack is why I could not post exact details).
In your case you could just use a property (something like LogFileSpec) for the log file spec. Then each EXE log event would look something like this: Action (Note: I can't put exact text on line below because it violates security rules of this forum! Remove spaces in string after C.) File - [SystemFolder]C M D.e x e Arguments - /C ECHO(%Date% %Time:~0,8% Whatever you want to log goes here >>"[LogFileSpec]" Window - Hide
All of the above is assuming you want your own log, not the suite log info. Hope that helps.
