Using LogText
Do I really need to build NSIS in order to use the built-in LogText command? I've tried using another logging method (Logging: Simple Text File Logging Functions and Macros) from the NSIS site but it seems to overwrite any values I've captured into the $0 or $1 registers which is screwing up my installs (sample psuedo code below):
Read a registry value into $0 (e.g. msaccess.exe install folder)
Write to the log file, "Creating desktop shortcut"
CreateDesktopShortcut (using $0 -> it's now blank, or sometimes it contains a date/time stamp)
