Software Deployment

Either stop the 'Open INSTALL.LOG' action from executing or add a 'Close INSTALL.LOG', according to this hard-to-find PDF http://www.altiris.com/upload/wisescripteditor_005.pdf

Hard-to-find, in that it took me almost F I V E seconds... :)

Ok, ok, I'm a lazy cow... :P Thing is I can't get it to stop writeing the log; the first line in my script is 'Stop writing to installtion log'. Is that right or am I missing somthing stoopid?

Cheers

Is that right or am I missing somthing stoopid?I don't know, I never use WS. The PDF implies (page 37) that each action has an 'Add text to INSTALL.LOG' "property". Maybe you need to blank those?

I am wondering, though, why you don't want that file: it's my understanding that it's used by the script actions when uninstalling...

If you're using the wise script package editor to modify this wisescript, just go into the Installation Expert section and on the left hand pane under Target System highlight Installation Log and select 'Do not create installation log'.

Hey,
I'm using a Wise script to tidy up after a messy wraped RealPlayer install, it just removes some shortcuts and moves some around. The INSTALL.LOG ends up being created in a Start menu group. The script doesnt need to be uninstalled so the log is not a concern.

Arrr! I've just compiled my script in Wise Installer and now I'm going to have to start again! Why do I never learn how important backups are!

Ian,

Don't know why 'x' happened? Want to know why 'y' happened? Use ProcMon and it will tell you.

Having rewritten the script, the 'stop writing to installation log' now appears to have the desired effect. Maybe I messed up the first time around, maybe there was some other issue. However, no thanks to your sarcasm I now have a solution and I suppose that’s all that matters.

Till the next time, love ya!

thanks so much for useful info
