Thanks for asking the question again (why not after InstallFiles) - in my mind I had tried that and it failed. So I tried it again and got: Action ended 14:36:14: InstallFiles. Return value 1. MSI (s) (E8:74) [14:36:14:935]: Doing action: CA_CopyMasterIni MSI (s) (E8:74) [14:36:14:935]: Note:

All the MsiPackage that I have added in my Burn setup have the verbose logging enabled, for one of them it is 100 mb of log file and IO think this is one of the causes of the slow time of the install. How can I disable the Logging for a single MsiPackage? I haven't found any property in the MsiP
