DumpLog in silent mode
I have been using the function Dumplog to create an install.log file that captures the details of my installation. It looks however that this Dumplog will not work if I run my installer in silent mode.
Is there anyway I can still create an install.log even while installing silently?

Thanks for any help.

You can compile in the log option (look it up in config.h). If you don't have a compiler you can use the special build from the downloads page (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/download/special_builds/).

Hi,I want to know why not enable log option by default?
I think it is useful to make a auto-uninstall function by log file.

Because it's bloat. As simple as that :)

It's intended for debug purposes only.

I want to update platform (http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/...sdk/sdkupdate/) to recomplie makensis.exe,but I don't know which one is necessary.Windows Installer SDK (Version 2.0)?

The following SDKs are installed on my computer.
Common Setup Files
WMI SDK
Core SDK (Windows Server 2003)
Internet Development SDK (Version 6.0)
Internet Information Server SDK (Version 5.1)

But the CopyFiles's bug still.

You only need the latest Core SDK. Make sure you have set up Visual Studio integration.
