Log File Functions

InstallShield 2024 » InstallScript Language Reference

Project: This information applies to InstallScript projects.

Log file functions obtain information from and copy information to the custom logging section of the log file. Custom log file entries do not affect maintenance or uninstallation of the application unless you add code to the script to read custom values and perform actions based on those values. The log file functions cannot read data from or write data to the maintenance/uninstallation section of the log file (that is, the section where the setup automatically writes data, such as the files that are installed and the registry entries that are created, and from which it automatically reads data during maintenance or uninstallation). The following list briefly describes each log file function.
