[WiX-users] Can I get the location of setup log files from my BA?

[stewarth]

Using Burn, my setup generates 2 log files, one from the bundle and one from
an msi.

If my install fails, i'd like to display some sort of 'see this log file:
logfilename' so users will know what to send to us, and during test i dont
have to keep reminding people where to look (!)

So, from my BA can i retrieve the paths to these 2 log files?

Is there some way of retrieving the value of [WixBundleLog] , or can it be
done in another way?

Hope I'm not missing something obvious but I cant find any info about this.

Thanks.

Engine.StringVariables["WixBundleLog"]

You can also use the BalFormatString function to substitute any
variables embedded in strings with the value - e.g. "A log file has been
generated at [WixBundleLog]".
