I need your opinion. Currently Burn logs to the %TEMP% folder by default (you can override it with the -log/-l switch). This is great because most people expect this sort of temporary data to live in the log file and Windows provides built in mechanisms to clean out the %TEMP% folder should it get "big".
Unfortunately, Windows Server clears out the %TEMP% folder on reboot. This makes %TEMP% a really bad place to store log files if your bundle requires a reboot for any reason. So, I need a new location to put log files. The best idea I've had thus far is to create a new folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Logs and put log files there. This folder will be persisted over reboots but doesn't have any built in way to be cleaned out (the user would have to figure it out, or install a WiX disk clean up wizard extension that does not yet exist <smile/>). Does anyone have better ideas? Any proposed solution needs to work on WinXP-SP2+. -- virtually, Rob Mensching - http://RobMensching.com LLC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
