How can I set a default log file path for Windows Installer?

Hi Every one..

Any one know how to create default location for log file (like c:\windows or d:\ or etc..) without passing through command prompt.

I know following methods for creating log files for MSI.

 

1. in CMD: MSINAME.msi /l*V c:\1.log

2. Table: Property

Column Name: MsiLogging
Column Value: voicewarmupx

in this case log file creating under temp folder with random msi file name.

3. 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
  "Logging"="voicewarmup"
  "Debug"=dword:00000007

in this case log file creating under temp folder with random msi file name.

 

4....?

any one have any more ?

 

Thanks in advance..

You can use VBScript/Batch Script templates to install your MSIs

  • Thanks for replay jagadeish....

    any way , if we use VB/Batch Script for Installing MSI we are giving log file path manually right...

    my req is automatic default path(depending on client). like %temp% - appinstall 12 years ago
