Hi everyone,

Returning to this forum after 6 years. I was wondering how to do verbose logging from Installshield.

I need to log every event (installation successful) to any error. I have forgotten how I used to do it 6 years back.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

Sudarshan

Thanks Stefen. The link you provided answers only few of my questions.

 

My Basic MSI project with prerequisites generates an setup.exe. I have enabled/set below key  .

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
  "Logging"="voicewarmup"
  "Debug"=dword:00000007

 

I tried to use flags /L*v C:\Your.log, but it looks like it will work only when setup is launche dfrom Installshield IDE

 

 

My requirement is that , I want the end customer to just click on "setup.exe" provided, and verbose log file with errors and details of each installation step should be generated.

 

How do I set this in my installshield project?

 

Any inputs will be really helpful.

 

Thanks and Regards,
Saraswati

You could enter /L*v C:\Your.log in the "MSI command line arguments" box in InstallShield on the setup.exe tab of the release settings
