I see that if we want to create an uninstall log during un-installation we can run from the command line eg. msiexec /i <productcode> /L*v c:\uninstall.log.

Running uninstall from ADD/REMOVE programs does not create a log by default, is there an option within InstallShield that can be set so that a log always gets created during an uninstall? Thanks.

On Windows Installer 4.0 or above you can use the MsiLogging property.

Thanks Stefan.
Can you also provide details on how to use this property? Do I just set it when my product is set to uninstall, also should it be set to a particular value? Thx.
