Writing Log File on Uninstall!!!

Hi,

I am creating setup.exe when i build my msi. We have the option to create a log file during installation.

Is there any option to create log file when we uninstall the application from Add\Remove programs.

Thanks in advance.

Upon install, you could modify the uninstallstring value in Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\{guid} to include "/lv "

Hi Kelter,

I wrote a VB Script CA to modify the Uninstall Registry string. But when i uninstalled from Add/Remove Programs, the log file is not getting created..

Is there anything to do apart from this?

Thanks
