Windows Installer Editor Reference
Applying Logging Options to an Installation
Not available in a transform.
Command lines cannot be applied to a transform.
You can use a command line to set logging options that determine what activities are
logged during the installation. For information on logging options, see Logging in the
Windows Installer SDK Help. You can set logging options for all versions of Windows
Installer or for Windows Installer 3.0 and later.
In Windows Installer 4.0 and later, you can set logging options in the installation instead
of with a command line.
