Installation log on desktop after exiting during pre-install

[erglau]

Hi all,

When I exit the installer during the pre-install phase, the installation log appears on the Windows desktop even if a different path was specified in the Log Settings and in the $INSTALL_LOG_DESTINATION$ variable (this variable is set before any other pre-install actions).

The log only appears in the proper directory if I exit the installer after the actual install phase has started.

Has anyone seen this before? I am using IA 2011 Enterprise SP1.

Thanks.

I believe the install log is left at where your installer is if the installation is incomplete.

The install log seems to be left on the desktop regardless of the installer's location on the filesystem.

I guess I got it wrong then. I always have put the installer on desktop while testing....

It seems to be a default behavior?

Yes, it is.
