eladef asked a question.
Hi
I have Basic MSI project and using installscript,
Is there a way to directly write to the MSI log files with installscript CA ?
I already tried to use SprintfMsiLog in the installscript but it didn't worked probably since I run it through DoAction events,
Is there a way to make it work ?

Hi @eladef ,
To write to the MSI log, SprintfMsiLog uses the MsiProcessMessage API. This API does not work from custom actions launched through DoAction events.
Note that custom actions launched by a DoAction ControlEvent can send a message with the Message Method , but cannot send a message with MsiProcessMessage .
For more details:

Thanks,
Jenifer
And what different type of CA I should use if I still want to use InstallScript and SprintfMsiLog ?
