DumpLog
In section D.4 says

This function will dump the log of the installer (installer details) to a file of your choice. I created this function for Afrow_UK who requested a way to dump the log to a file in this forum thread.

To use it, push a file name and call it. It will dump the log to the file specified. For example:

GetTempFileName $0
Push $0
Call DumpLog


Could anyone explain to me in wich part of my scrip put this 3 lines of code?

TIA


Section
Push "$INSTDIR\install.log"
Call DumpLog
SectionEnd


Also put that below all other sections so that it gets executed last.

HI Stu
I do it like that and doesnt work
Ive ShowInstDetails hide, maybe the problem??


This is very weird, if i put below the others sections like you said

Section
Push "$INSTDIR\install.log"
Call DumpLog
SectionEnd

It doesnt work, but if ive put like this works fine

Section
Push "C:\TEMP\install.log"
Call DumpLog
SectionEnd

How?
$INSTDIR is not possible??


Does your $INSTDIR contain the installation path or are you not using it?
MessageBox MB_OK $INSTDIR

Stu


Sorry Stu i make a mistake, just you say my $instdir only contain the root directory

Thanks for all
