Compile Time Log for Silent Compile?
Greetings Scripters!

I am attempting to create a log file during compile time by using the /V2 and /O"file" parameters for makensis.exe. However, no log is being created. I am using a version of nsis newer than 2.0, since the source contains fixes which I require.

The reason I am attempting to produce a silent build, with a log file is for a nightly unattended build system.

Has anyone else experienced the issue, of makensis.exe /V2 /O"My.log" ... not producing a log?

Cheers,

ZIMSMS

Ah, I guess I should be more specific. I am using an NSIS Build Script that calls makensis or makensisw repeatedly to build multiple installs,; primarily done for branding to a specific locale, ie: images. So as I am calling makensis when building silently on the nightly build system I am telling it to create a log file for the child makensis process. However, I can't copy the log when that process is running, and once it's ended the log is removed.

Does anyone know of a way I can keep the log file around after the first child process has ran so that i can copy it then move on to the next?

Cheers,
