Hi,

Does anyone know a way of outputting logging information from an MSI? and
redirecting the event logging to the log. I have a third party custom action
(well biztalks custom action) and I want to redirect the output from that to
the same log file?

regards
 
Hi John,

The msiexec.exe stub has a command line parameter (even a number of
parameters) to control whether logging is enabled and its level of detail.
Please search MSDN for msiexec.exe command line arguments reference. As for
the custom action, I am not sure here, but there should be standard logging
APIs the custom action could use. I think people at
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.setup newsgroup should address this
question much better.
