Hello,
         How do i enable logging while running the set up(msi)?  I want to
get detail listing of all the actions performed during installation and
figure out cause for errors during installation.

Thanks

Bala

Not sure exactly what you mean, but currently you can only enable logging
programmatically with MsiEnableLog and then calling MsiInstallProduct
yourself. There is no API to set logging during the install, if that's what
you mean.  MSI 4.0 will have property table entries to allow per-MSI
logging. The current logging policy in the registry logs all MSI activiity.
