Verbose logging when building project

Is there a way to enable any sort of verbose logging for building a project? Not for when it is being installed on a client machine, but the logs of the build itself. Or are there any logs stored anywhere by default? I can only find info for logs when installing a package rather than actual advanced installer logs.

Thanks!

Re: Verbose logging when building project

Hello Kyle,

You can create a build log using the Advanced Installer command line executable (AdvancedInstaller.com). Here is a step-by-step which will help you achieve that:

1) Save your project (.aip file).
2) Open a new command line.
3) Navigate to where your project was saved using the "cd" command (change directory).
4) Use a command line as it follows:

Code: Select all

AdvancedInstaller.com /build YourProject.aip > "ThePathWhereLogWillBeCreated\buildlog.txt"
Let me know if this helps!

Unfortunately that looks to the be the same output that was in the GUI. I was just curious if there was any more detailed logging that can be obtained. I don't necessarily need it at this point for anything specific, but was just curious if anything was available.

Thanks!

Hello Kyle,

Yes, that is the only log we create upon building a project. Unfortunately, we do not create a more detailed log.
