Logging to one file takes just as long as any other type of logging. No logging should be happening. No I don't think it's worth using MsiEnableLog to disable loggin. Logging is not enabled by default, and to enable it you have to change some registry entries, which I doubt anyone is doing. -- James Hawkins
