Well, that bug is exactly why I need that functionality, so.. what is the alternate path you are thinking of using? - Lars Augensen Deployment Engineer -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: 26. oktober 2011 16:38 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hard-coding a log file location (with Burn?) Burn logs to %TEMP%, that's not configurable. There is a bug open that we need to use another path instead of %TEMP% because reboots on Windows server clear the folder. However, there are no plans to make the full path of the log file configurable. The MsiLogFileLocation sets variables in Burn to all the log files being generated so that your bootstrapper application can do whatever it wants with them after they are written.
