Summary: Add output of Summary Information Stream to verbose logging
Initial Comment:
Adding all of the data contained in the Summary
Information Stream of a package [msi or msm] would be
useful for keeping track of automated builds,
especially when using AutoGenUUID fields to create the
Package Code for a build ...
For merge modules, the output could also include the
ModuleID [just for convenience] ...
Thanks,

There is a tool called msiinfo.exe which ships in the MSI
sdk which displays all the summary information to the
console. It would be preferable to use this tool for this
purpose rather than duplicate the functionality in Light.
You could easily schedule this tool to run immediately after
light. This should provide all the information indicated in
the log you attached including the timestamp (its the
Created/LastSaved field).
Here's a sample output:
>msiinfo c:\temp\product.msi
Class Id for the MSI storage is
{000C1084-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
[ 1][/c] Codepage = 1252
[ 2][/t] Title = Installation Database
[ 3][/j] Subject = My first Windows Installer package
[ 4][/a] Author = Microsoft Corporation
[ 5][/k] Keywords = Installer
[ 6][/o] Comments = Test from:
wix\examples\test\unrealtableoutput\product.wxs
[ 7][/p] Template(MSI CPU,LangIDs) = ;1033
[ 9][/v] Revision = {12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012}
[12][/r] Created = 2006/04/10 14:54:46
[13][/q] LastSaved = 2006/04/10 14:54:46
[14][/g] Pages(MSI Version Used) = 200
[15][/w] Words(MSI Source Type) = 2
[18][/n] Application = Windows Installer XML v0.0.0.0
(candle/light)
[19][/u] Security = 2
I'll close this feature request for now, but please re-open
it if msiinfo won't work for your purposes (and please let
us know why not in case we can suggest some other
appropriate solutions).

Still thinking about this ... and adding a time/date stamp
would also be a very handy thing.
Thanks !

I've uploaded a sample [modified] log file ...
Additional lines could include the ProductID & UpgradeCode,
just for completeness ... but I've only added the
information which appears in the view summary information
dialog as shown by Orca to the example file.
The main purpose would be to simplify bug/fix tracking
during builds/tests prior to releasing a product to
manufacturing ... and to provide a detail 'history' of the
actual build of an installation package.
Think 'regulatory compliance' and I think you'll see where
I'm coming from.
Thanks !

Could you please provide some specific examples of what you
would like this output to look like?
