I know this is now a WiX specific question. Please point me to a better place to ask this.
I have a custom action that launches an exe. The custom action uses MsiLogFileLocation as a base to construct a log file path for the exe command line. This all works great during install and uninstall because my bundle ensures that a log is always created and I'm targeting Windows Vista or greater with Windows Installer 4.0 or greater. During an upgrade I see that MsiLogFileLocation is set in the context of the upgrade msi but during the execution of RemoveExistingProducts I don't see MsiLogFileLocation set and this causes my uninstall custom action to fail because I'm not constructing a proper path for the log command line argument. I expected that MsiLogFileLocation would be automatically set by RemoveExistingProducts when uninstalling related products but that assumption appears to be incorrect. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might pass the value of MsiLogFileLocation to the uninstalling msi to produce the correct log file? The exe in question does not write the contents of this log to standard output so I can't use CAQuietExec to capture the log. -- Edwin G.
