CmdLine=/lv C:\mylog.txt
[MSILoader]
MSIFileName=test.msi

Doesn't work!

Doesn't work !

Thanks JSP but it doesn't work...
It seems that the log is only created when you use line command like :"setup.exe /L*v c:\mylog.txt".
setup.exe doesn't care of CmdLine in setup.ini ?
However I found this method in several pages and books.

I definitively don't know but i'm sure that i'm am fed up with microsoft !

Thanks.

I can't understand why it doesn't work!
I use this every days.
Do you use a compressed package?
Don't you launch the msi?
I am really amazed of this situation.

I must may be notify something:
I use Visual Studio Installer and not Install Shield Developer because it's for a professional software and We don't have license for InstallShield.

I'll make a little try with InstallShield Developer and look if the CmdLine parameters work.

In addition, my project is in compressed CAB, and I launch the setup.exe.

You use InstallShield Or Visual Studio Installer ?

Thanks for your help JSP.

Again me JSP !

So logfile works with Install Shield Developer !
But it should work too with VSI. It's written by the support microsoft !! (as always).

Thanks again...
