I have to log the files which are being installed into a log file . I am using Install shield Developer Ver 7.03 . Is there any event which gets fired when the file is copied onto the system or any other method . I think in Ver 6.x they had an event "On Installing file" where you could write the code to log the file being installed . Is there a similar method in Ver 7.x
Thanks

Action Data messages are sent by the InstallFiles action for each file installed. You can install an external UI handler to process these messages.

Thanks . I am kind of new to Install Shield Dev 7 . Can you tell me how do you install the externa Ui handler . It would be great if you can attach a working example

I do not have a sample but there is sufficient documentation in the MSDN/MSI help.
You need to replace setup.exe with your own startup program and make a call to MsiSetExternalUI before MsiInstallProduct. You may also need to do whatever InstallShield needs. (Probably not sufficiently documented).

Note that this will probably not work with Standard Projects in Developer 7 since they already use an external handler I think.
Enabling verbose logging may be the easiest solution.
