How to set the custom log path for bootstrapper exe as well as exes in the bundle

[ashvinikambleforvpel]

Hi,

Currently all the logs are by default written to %temp% folder.
I want to write the bootstrapper log as well as the packages logs it is installing to a custom location with some custom file name.
is it possible to do so?

I have tried using Log tag inside bundle like below but it didn't work:
<Bundle Name="Uniformance Excel Companion Installer" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="QUASAR" UpgradeCode="6b7fffc8-c8e7-4123-b018-3ad6ef137438"> <Variable Type="string" Name="ExcelCompanionInstallerLogPath" Value="C:\Program Files\AppLogs\ExcelCompanionInstaller_install.log" Persisted="yes"/> <Log Disable="yes" PathVariable="ExcelCompanionInstallerLogPath"/> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <!-- TODO: Define the list of chained packages. --> <!-- <MsiPackage SourceFile="path\to\your.msi" /> --> <PackageGroupRef Id="Prerequisites"/> <PackageGroupRef Id="ExcelCompanionApplication"/> </Chain>

also for the packages it is installing I tried to specify the log location as below without success:

`   <Fragment>		
	<Variable Type="string" Name="PHDClient86LogPath" Value="C:\Program Files\AppLogs\PHDClient_410_x86_install.log"/>
	<Variable Type="string" Name="PHDClient64LogPath" Value="C:\Program Files\AppLogs\PHDClient_410_x64_install.log"/>
  <PackageGroup Id="Prerequisites">       
    <!-- Step 1B and 1C -->
    <MsiPackage Id="PHDClient86" Visible="yes" 
				SourceFile="..\SourceFiles\Prerequisites\PHDClient_410.1_x86.msi" 
		LogPathVariable="[PHDClient86LogPath]">        
    </MsiPackage>
    <MsiPackage Id="PHDClient64" Visible="yes" 
                SourceFile="..\SourceFiles\Prerequisites\PHDClient_410.1_x64.msi"
		LogPathVariable="PHDClient64LogPath">      
    </MsiPackage>    

  </PackageGroup>
</Fragment>`

any help with this would be highly appreciated
