Sending Installer Crash Reports To Server

[Vedanta]

I was wondering if there are any crash reports that are generated if an installer unexpectedly crashes when a user is using it. I would like to send any such report to a backend server so I can try and fix any errors with the installer.

Thanks

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any crash reports that are generated if an installer unexpectedly crashes when a user is using it.

In order to generate an installation log, you can check the Enable Verbose Logging option from the Install Parameters page. By enabling this option, a log file will be generated each time the install package runs. This option sets the Windows Installer MsiLogging property to v value. Windows Installer will automatically set the MsiLogFileLocation property to the full path of the log file.

I would like to send any such report to a backend server so I can try and fix any errors with the installer.

Please take a look on our Send (or prepare) an email during installation forum thread which debates this subject.

Let us know if you need any help.

Best regards,
Dan
