Re: [WiX-users] Logging information
Unfortunately, *I* personally don't know how to do dcomcnfg. The ComPlus Extension, http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/complus_xsd_index.htm, might be appropriate here but I don't know the details of its usage. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable can provide some guidance. Edwin G.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Logging information Hi Windows Installer doesn't support logging the console output of command you execute through a custom action. Consider using CAQuietExec to execute your custom action. That will do two things for you: 1.) Hide the command prompt window that shows up for console applications. 2.) Capture your console application's output and include it in the MSI log file. See the WiX documentation to read up on CAQuietExec. Of course, I would *highly* discourage you from using the custom action to register your application as support for repair, uninstall, and all the different types of rollback are more difficult to handle (you're allowing a blackbox to execute that _could_ do anything). That said, if you still want to register your application using the custom action, then consider scheduling it between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize and make the custom action deferred. Obviously you'll want to schedule it at least after InstallFiles. Edwin G.
