NSIS 2.42 Special Build Won't Log

I just built a new buildmachine. I installed 2.42 and updated with the special build exe and stubs. Before I put special build here, the file wouldn't compile, but now it does. Now that they're compiling though, they won't create log files anymore. Any advise on troubleshooting this?

Thanks,
Eric

Try following what it's doing with the log file using FileMon. For what its worth, I've tested basic logging with the special build and it works fine for me. I've used 2.43, but nothing has changed in that area since 2.42.

It never creates a log file.

What do you use to make it create the log?

logset on
logset off

This works for me. Does it work for you?

OutFile test.exe

Name test



InstallDir $TEMP



Section

LogSet on

SectionEnd

Sorry I disappeared for a while. Crazy around here...

That runs fine but doesn't create any logs.

Have you tried reinstalling?

I'll try reinstalling. If that doesn't work, I'll try moving back a version.

I uninstalled, reinstalled (2.44 instead of 2.42), put the logging subz in (from nsis-2.44-log.zip), copied the makensis.exe from the special build over, and ran your test file again. That did the trick. Thanks kichik. If I ever get to Jerusalem, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
