Displaying log in the command window during a build

[themaniac27]

I have sort of a stupid question. I'm using Jenkins to automate a build. The build is hanging when I use advanced installer 8.0.1 I checked all the paths and ran the installer on it's own and it created the executable just fine. Is there anyway I can view a log on the command line. If not, where are advanced installer logs found.

EDIT: I found my problem. I removed the line that Sets the version and it build the executable with no problems. I'm assuming since I'm changing the version a new product code needs to be created? Is there a way for AI to produce a random code using /SetProductCode or does SetProductCode only allow users to specify a specific user based one.

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Is there anyway I can view a log on the command line.

Here's the "Does Advanced Installer create a log?" thread that debates this.

I'm assuming since I'm changing the version a new product code needs to be created?

Indeed, here's the "Changing the Product Version" article that clarifies this.

Is there a way for AI to produce a random code using /SetProductCode or does SetProductCode only allow users to specify a specific user based one.

Here's the "Set Product Code Option" user guide reference to clarify this as well.

Let us know if you have any other doubts or queries.

All the best,
Mihai

Thanks the I didn't know that I could leave Guid blank.

However the log files that is generated is blank and because I'm using Jenkins to run AI I cant see any popups that may occur.
