Generate an installation log file during the installation. The installation log file is in ASCII text format and provides information about what happened during the installation, such as which files were installed, which programs were executed, what Registry changes were made, etc. This information can be extremely useful if you ever need to debug an installation where errors occurred.
The location and filename of the log file to generate. You can specify an absolute location such as C:\Temp or you can use session variables to form dynamic paths such as %TempFolder%\logfile.txt.
Note: the log file is created at the very start of the setup, before %AppFolder% has been established. You should always create your log files in a pre-existing, standard system directory such as %TempFolder% or %WindowsFolder%.
How the log file will be updated if there is currently a log file in the target location. Choose from:
Append any new log file entries to the end of the existing file.
Overwrite the existing log file when generating the current one.
The action details that will be included in the log file. Choose from:
Don't log any errors in scripts in the log file.
Log errors in scripts with the event the error occurred in, the line it occurred on and the error message or code.
Same as Errors but the actual line of code executed will be reported as well (if available).
