call dumplog function when the installation is complere
hello, im working on a nsi script and i need to log the installer actions to a file,
i have the script to save the log file fromhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/8...is-install-log,

the dumplog function works fine, but i need to call it at the end of installation,

my example code

 !include "MUI.nsh"
 !define LVM_GETITEMCOUNT 0x1004
 !define LVM_GETITEMTEXT 0x102D
 Name "Modern UI Test 1.70"
 OutFile "sectiontest.exe"
 InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\Modern UI Test"
 InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\Modern UI Test" ""

 !define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
 !define MUI_ABORTWARNING

  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
  !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
  
  !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM
  !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES
  !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

  Section "Dummy Section" SecDummy
  SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
  WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Modern UI Test" "" $INSTDIR
  WriteUninstaller "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"

SectionEnd


Section "last section" Sec12
   StrCpy $0 "$INSTDIR\Query\Presleyinstall.log"
Push $0
Call DumpLog
SectionEnd

    SendMessage $0 ${LVM_GETITEMCOUNT} 0 0 $6
    System::Alloc ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}
    Pop $3
    StrCpy $2 0
    System::Call "*(i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i) i \
      (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, r3, ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}) .r1"
    loop: StrCmp $2 $6 done
      System::Call "User32::SendMessageA(i, i, i, i) i \
        ($0, ${LVM_GETITEMTEXT}, $2, r1)"
      System::Call "*$3(&t${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN} .r4)"
      FileWrite $5 "$4$\r$\n"
      IntOp $2 $2 + 1
      Goto loop
    done:
      FileClose $5
      System::Free $1
      System::Free $3

  LangString DESC_SecDummy ${LANG_ENGLISH} "A test section."
  ;Assign language strings to sections
   !insertmacro MUI_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_BEGIN
    !insertmacro MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT ${SecDummy} $(DESC_SecDummy)
   !insertmacro MUI_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION_END
   
  ;Uninstaller Section
  Section "Uninstall"
 ;ADD YOUR OWN FILES HERE...
  Delete "$INSTDIR\Uninstall.exe"

  RMDir "$INSTDIR"
  DeleteRegKey /ifempty HKCU "Software\Modern UI Test"
SectionEnd

here i have two sections but since the dump function call is in section 2, if the user doesnt select the section2, the dumplog function will not get called,

can any tell me how to call the dumplog function even if the section is not selected.

Put it in a section without a name.
