You need to redirect the output programmatically.

Thank you. This works great when I type it in manually in the command line.
But I am using light and candle in a c# app. Like this:

Process
light = new Process();
light.StartInfo.FileName = ....WiX toolset\light.exe";
light.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + OutputFolder +.....+ \WiXOutput.wixobj" + 
"\" " + "-out " + "\"" + OutputFolder + ..... + projectName + ".msi" + "\" " + 
">build2.log " + "-ext WixUIExtension -loc " + "\"" + OutputFolder + @"\" + 
...\Language.xml" + "\"";

light.Start();
while (!light.HasExited)
{
Application.DoEvents();
Thread.Sleep(20);
}

When I debug and copy the light.StartInfo.Arguments string and paste it in the 
console, it works great. But not when I run my app. like I usually do it feels 
like it skips the candle and light process. It does not build anything and no 
log file is created... Maybe something to do with ">" char?? Or what do you 
think?

Thank you in advance!

Peter

 Hi.
Is there any way to log candle and light build errors and warnings to a text 
file?
Best regards
Peter
