Create A SQL Install Log

SQL Install Fails
I am having an issue with installing SQL on some customers computers. I dont' know what the error is but I know SQL is failing. I already posted about fixing this issue, and have not gotten a response. However, is there a way to log the SQL install so that I can view what error happened?
I saw a post about this, and it said to log the SQL install, but I don't know how to do it. I think I need to add something to the command line script, but what and where will it save the file?
---------------
Passing Installer Parameters To Own Program Issue
Right now, when the installer fails I have it sending me an email, and going to a support page, so I can easily attach the log file if I can figure out how to create it and where it will be.
I am attaching the reg.exe file that I call when SQL fails. The run file parameters are:
On SQL error:
failed $USERCOMPANY$ "SQL Error"
On Main error:
failed $USERCOMPANY$ "Main Error"
On Success:
success $USERCOMPANY$
I am having an issue with this as well, because I'd like to put $USERCOMPANY$ in quotes so it is seen as 1 parameter. I also posted about this, and haven't gotten a response.

If you know why this is not installing on some computers, then I won't need to do this, but if not, please advise. I tried installing MDAC Refresh with the install, but that did not work. I don't think I need to do that, but I was trying everything.

reg.exe
