The log starts being written before the UI is ever shown, so its path must be fully defined by then. It can't be changed after the MSI starts running.
As far as I know the only alternatives are the so-called "external UI" interface, which requires bootstrapping, or the "embedded UI" interface, which requires MSI v4.0 or above. -----Original Message----- From: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) [mailto:chunyan.ji...@ge.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:36 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Write verbose log file to where app installed Hi Wix-users, I would like to have verbose log to check installation. I know that it is possible to use command line to get log as: msiexec /i setup.msi /l verboselog.log Then the log file will be writen where setup.msi locates. However, I want the log file written into where the app installed. It is user defined in dialog during install. So it is not possilbe to give the path in command line, which my bootstraper executable called. But I have set APPLICATIONFOLDER in my wxs data. Is it possible to call verbose log file in wxs? So that I can use APPLICATIONFOLDER to give the path to the verbose log.
