Is this just for logging purposes? Is the normal MSI log not sufficient?

If it's not, then depending on your situation, there's a number of options:

 * The XmlFile element in the Util extension can be tied to a component and
update a target file when that component is installed or uninstalled.
 * The IniFile table
 * A custom action based on the C++ or C# custom action templates that the
VS integration gives you

Ideally you want a technique that's table driven and transactional (so that
the manifest reflects the state of the system after a rollback).
