Hi
Am using Developer 8. I need to know where the msi log file is created when a msi file created from a Basic MSI project is run. I do not want to use Installscript MSI project.
Also, how can Installscript custom actions log to that msi log file? Will I have to use functions like OpenFile, WriteLine, etc.? Is that the only way? If yes, is there available a .rul file which exposes some functions like WriteToLog (), which I can directly use?

You specify the location of the log file when you launch your setup via the /L command line parameter of msiexec.exe
Sample script is available here on InstallSite under Windows Installer -> Custom Actions -> Writing to the Installer Log File
