[wix-users] Verbose MSI log not getting generated even after specifying /l*v

That is the symptom of using l*v in logging policy rather than on the
msiexec command line - it says in the documentation that l*v does not work
in logging policy. I wonder if group policy logging actually replaces
command line logging (or something like that) and they have L*v in the
logging policy.

Subject: [wix-users] Verbose MSI log not getting generated even after

Hi,

I'm encountering an issue with enabling MSI logs. An enterprise is facing
issue with installation of my product. I asked them to send across MSI logs
by using /l*v option on command line. However when they sent the logs those
were not verbose. The logs only contain status and error messages. They
insist that they are using /l*v on command line but I'm unable to understand
why the logs are not verbose.

I have seen this in the past also with another customer but didn't give much
thought to it then but now I really need verbose logs. I also checked GPO
setting but command line always takes precedence over GPO so I ruled it out.

Does anyone has any idea why logs are not verbose even after using /l*v?

Also, customer is using SCCM in case this helps.

Thanks,
