Ok here is another basic question. I'm moving my install from Installscript to a BasicMsi install. I write lots of information during the installation to a log file for debugging later if needed. In Installscript I used CreateFile, Openfile and WriteLine and this worked great. In my BasicMSI testing the Create file works about 50% of the time, I have no idea why but sometimes it works and other times it does not.
So what I want to try doing now is turning on the built in logging option and then I would like to write my lines of information to that log file as needed.
I have searched and found info on turing the logging on and I think how to name it and put it where I want but I have not found any info on how to write to it. I would like to be able to put short strings together and write them to the log file like using WriteLine. Is there a way to do this?
If not does anyone know how to make createfile work all the time? I'm trying to create the file in commonfiles\Companyname\InstallLogs\
