Re: How do I get the logs of installation
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hello, Yes, this is the expected behavior. C:\ is a protected Windows resource. So if you create an "asInvoker" setup and run it non-elevated, then it can't write to the protected root of C:\. Please see the following switches in the manual. This lets you define the folder: /E2 [folder\]filename /E3 [folder\]filename Friedrich
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Thanks!! please check if it is possible. However I was trying to use /E switch but it was not generating the log file, please find the attachment for it. Just to let you know if following things have impact on logging: 1.My application UAC level is asInvoker 2.Command prompt is not run as admin 3.I was checking txt log file at c:\ 4. I have tried forward and backword slash for E am I missing something? Attachment 5011
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hello, the /E event logging switch is strictly required in order to enable this feature. It's not possible to enable it by default. But I'll check if it is possible to add such a feature. Friedrich
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hi Friedrich, Event logging will be enabled by passing \E command line option while running the installer. However If I want to always enable event logging without passing the \E, How can I do this? User will just double click on installer file and event logging should happen in that case. Thanks in advance!!
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Thanks Friedrich, I'll check that.
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hello, not exactly sure how to answer this question. The UNinstallation log (an ASCII text file) logs actions to power the uninstall executable (uninstall files, registry entries, edit INI, shortcuts, etc.). It does not log all actions (e.g. Run, Search for File, etc.). You can run an installer in event logging mode (/E) to check specific actions. Friedrich
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hello, can you please comment on installation logs? Thanks!
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Thanks Friedrich!! I'll definitely check this.
Re: How do I get the logs of installation Hello, the default and recommended way is to let Windows replace the file at the next reboot. If you would like to stop the installation, you can use the "Check In-user File..." and/or "Check In-use Folder Tree..." script functions and then act accordantly (e.g. ask the user to stop the app or kill a service and wait, then check again if it is still locked), or Exit the install. You should do it BEFORE you begin to modify the system. Friedrich
