SilentInstall silentlog option
Hi, all... Does anyone know how to use this option? Or specifically what it does? I'm guessing run the installer as with 'silent' option, and generate a log file somewhere, but nothing in the makensis.htm seems to touch on how, and the message I get when I try it, ie., "SilentInstall: silentlog specified, no log support compiled in (use NSIS_CONFIG_LOG)" hasn't been much help so far.

Hi!

You should change this line in source\exehead\config.h:

// #define NSIS_CONFIG_LOG

to:

#define NSIS_CONFIG_LOG

and then recompile NSIS with VC6 or another comaptible compiler.
If I remember correctly there was a post in the forum about compiling with gcc, the free GNU C Compiler.
