This article provides information on how to log an InstallShield Express installation.
Discussion
If you need to create a log file to log the modifications made by your installation, you can do so via a setup log file. Use one of the following options to create a log file for an Express installation:
- If running your installation via Setup.exe, use the following command-line arguments to create a log file:
setup.exe /v"/l*v C:\Setup.log"
- If running your installation via the MSI package, use the following command-line arguments to create a log file:
msiexec /i "<PATH>\package.msi" /l*v "C:\Setup.log"
<PATH> in the above command-line argument should be replaced by the full path to where the MSI package resides on the machine.
