Allthough I've never tried I guess you could try to append "/L*v C:\verbose.log" to the UninstallString registry entry You'd think that would work, wouldn't you? It doesn't... :) Enable the policy instead.

Hope this one wud help....

Allthough I've never tried I guess you could try to append "/L*v C:\verbose.log" to the UninstallString registry entry under:
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Uncompressed ProductCode>"
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\<SID>\Products\<Compressed ProductCode>\InstallProperties"

Another way would to just enable the Logging policy.

As I said; I've never tried that approach but thanks Ian for confirming, now I don't need to test myself.
Cheers!

axsysbabu,

John gave you a proper answer to help you to understand how to read and interpret a verbose log!
As someone stated in another of your treads; please educate yourself of the Windows Installer technology as it's quite complex for anyone starting to learn the ropes. John has been asked to start a blog due to his knowledge and experience so I would suggest you read his blog carefully.

We will try to help you as much as we can BUT you need to do something by yourself.

thats i im out then ..

your on your own buddy !

hi jmc,
give proper answering otherwise dont give


axsybabu,

i've got first hand experience of how much jmcfadyen knows about msi's (considering the fact that 97.5% of what i know about packaging comes from thim), i think that if you can't read a proper reply when one's given to you, then maybe you should look at yourself before firing off a reply like that

thanks for response , its not suitable.....
