I know that we can use /L=<logfile>, but that turns logging all the way up. This equates to the msi command line option /l*v.
I would like to be able to specify, especially for my "sub" MSIs a different logging command.
Is there anyway to do this?
I can try overriding InstallAware's call to MsiEnableLog() by using the "Call DLL Function" method. Maybe that will do it.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Eric
custom logging parameters?

That didn't help.
I am thinking of avoiding all of the hassles of InstallAware and just going back to writing my own bootstrapper. What a pity, the IA concept has such great potential.

FYI, one way to accomplish this is to set the registry key for 'automatic' windows logging (HKLM\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Installer -> Logging=poem), but it is just not worth the hassle of trying to find out which file was created, and IA don't provide much functionality for doing custom tasks.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300 or do a search for "voicewarmup" for info if you want to know more about setting that reg key.
