Specify whether Windows Installer should log your installation.

If you select Yes, InstallShield populates the MsiLogging property with the default value of voicewarmupx. If the installation is run on a target system that has Windows Installer 4.0, the installer creates a log file and populates the MsiLogFileLocation property with its path. In addition, a Show the Windows Installer log check box is added to the SetupCompleteSuccess, SetupCompleteError, and SetupInterrupted dialogs. If the end user selects that check box and then clicks Finish, the log file is opened in a text file viewer or editor.

To customize the types of messages that are logged, edit the MsiLogging property in the Property Manager. For a list of valid parameters for this property, see "MsiLogging Property" in the Windows Installer Help Library that is posted to the MSDN Web site. If you edit the value of the MsiLogging property, InstallShield changes the value of the Create MSI Logs setting to Custom.

The Create MSI Logs setting applies to installations that are run with Windows Installer 4.0 on Windows Vista systems. Earlier versions of Windows Installer ignore this setting. The Show the Windows Installer log check box is not visible in run-time dialogs that are displayed on systems running earlier versions of Windows Installer.

If the value of this setting is Custom and you change it to Yes, any custom parameters that you defined for the MsiLogging property in the Property Manager will be overwritten with the default value. If you change it to No, InstallShield deletes any custom parameters from the MsiLogging property.
