silent mode /f2 switch problem

InstallShield Help says:
"When running an InstallScript MSI or InstallScript installation in silent mode (using the /s option), the log file Setup.log is by default created in the same directory and with the same name (except for the extension) as the response file. The /f2 option enables you to specify an alternative log file location and file name, as in Setup.exe /s /f2"C:\Setup.log". Specify an absolute path; using a relative path gives unpredictable results."

When I specify path for example "C:\temp\Setup.log" and directory "C:\temp" is not exist, it is excepted that it should be created. Anyway log file is not created. Is anybody know how to fix it? How to get /f2 argument manually?

Could you use something like %TEMP%\setup.log instead?

but I want to specify any directory for example c:\mylogs\stupid.log and if c:\mylogs isn't exist it fails 😞 I expect that InstallShield creates this directory and save my log under this name.
