You mention a log file created in the temp folder. Have you tried running your installer when the temp folder doesn't exist or the TEMP variable isn't defined? If you are calling MSIEXEC /L*v and wanting it to log to a TEMP folder I recommend you try it in these error conditions. MSIEXEC.EXE won't create the folder you want to log to if it doesn't exist. So, don't assume you will always be able to create a log file in the TEMP folder. Your MSI will simply fail if it can't create the log file. It will simply say Error opening installation log file.? Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable. You can't really assume that any folder exists. If you want to log reliably you must ensure that the folder you want to use exists before running the MSIEXEC.EXE command. Just a word of caution. If I were to test what you are proposing on the surface I could break it in an instant. -Original Message- From: lokanath devineni [mailto:ldevin...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 8:14 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Show Installer Log file Hello All, ?

Why not just extract the files from the EXE directly into the cache directory? The installer I'm working on with everything is 2.69GB so there's a lot spent file copying between the two directories. Also, Burn is leaving all the files extracted in the %TEMP% directory in BRN*.TMP directories. I swear I saw a bug in the database about that a while ago, but can't find it. I'll get that filed if I can't find it. The idea(l) is that the files are extracted then moved, so that only complete and verified files are in the cache. When TMP and appdata are on the same volume, it should be a move, afaik. Definitely a bug if the files are left behind in TMP, though. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Message: 2 Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 01:33:27 -0700 (PDT) From: mislimcane milosavljevic.mi...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] COM+ / RegAsm To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: 1302856407245-6275601.p...@n2.nabble.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Does you found solution?
