[wix-users] Logging

[John Cooper]

Writing logs to %TEMP% doesn't require an elevated logging process.  Writing to INSTALLDIR often will.  You're very like to get UnauthorizedAccessException's--particularly to perMachine locations.

The WixBundleLog is read-only.

Thanks for all the responses.

Is it possible to change the log destination?
The log is now stored in "%temp%" but i want it to be stored in "INSTALLDIR\LOG\" preferably named something like "install.log".

I tried the following but it didn't work:
<Property Id="WixBundleLog" Value="INSTALLDIR\LOG\install.log" />

Note that the '!' has a significant negative performance impact.  Rob beat me to it.  For that matter, so does logging everything under the sun is also not smart.  Unless you know you need the extra content, 'v' is what you want.

Just add this in your main .wxs file:

<Property Id="MsiLogging" Value="voicewarmup!"/>

Hello,

I'm making an installer and don't know whether to go with WiX NSIS or InnoSetup.
WiX seems a really nice installerpackage but i'm having trouble logging everything that happens.

Does anyone know how to create a logfile in WiX(Not using the commandline, that simply is not an option)


Regards,
Stijn de Winter
