Install Log File

Does anyone know if it is possible to create an install log file in a Setup
and Deployment Project in VB.NET 2003? All of our other projects have been
VB6 and we've used the Wise Installation System for our Setup projects. It is
very easy to create an install log in Wise and we'd like to have the same
functionality in our .NET setups.

Thanks for any help,
Dan

installer can also log
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de..._enablelog.asp

during a installation a log file is created in the TEMP however if you need
a Log file that stays there and is known to you , you can set these options
as you require them

Thanks for the help. This seems kind of strange since I'd have to write a
separate app just to run my installer so I didn't go that route. Instead I
use the command line parameters inside my code whenever it detects that it
needs to be updated. I already was using msiexec.exe in my code so I've just
added a few command line parameters to write the install log.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi, I've been trying for 2 hours to install in silent mode a DB2 9 runtime client. Why didn't you make this process as simple as for the CLIENT install ? It is not the same setup command, you can download a setup from the support site, but unfortunately, the setup does not allow you to create a response file. Neither the db2rspgn utility, after the graphical setup has been done. Very disapointing ... maybe can someone highlight the...
