problems using /s and /l at the same time

Hi

I need to deploy some installs silently and at the same time use logging. But the following commandline starts the install, using 100% CPU-time, and never finishes...

setup.exe /s /l=c:\\log.txt

Are you sure its not a problem with your setup package? Does a stand-alone /s install or a stand-alone /l install work?

Yeah it works fine if I only use /s or /l. But not both...

The installer is very simple, it just installs a single textfile, nothing fancy... I used the wizard to create the installer

I've found a solution to the problem. If I set the LOGGED variable instead of using /l, it works fine :P

ex:
/s LOGGED=c:\\log.txt

I am unable to reproduce the original problem, but real glad to hear you were able to work around it!
