Create an MSI log file

I have been trying to create a log file for an issue with our installer with the following commands:

msiexec /i "installer.msi" /l*v "log.log"
msiexec /i "installer.msi" /l*v
msiexec /l*v /i "installer.msi"
msiexec /l*v "log.log" /i "installer.msi"

and several other variations of the command, but 开发者_如何学编程it always pops up the window that states what command line parameters are valid for msiexec. What is the correct way to have the msi file create a log? I have windows installer 4.5.

The first and the last command lines are correct:

msiexec /i "installer.msi" /l*v "log.log"
msiexec /l*v "log.log" /i "installer.msi"

^{And you can drop quotes in this particular case.}

If you are using Visual Studio 2008, use capital "/L" for the log option. Lower-case "/l" is ignored.

msiexec /i "installer.msi" /L*v "log.log"

This appears to have been fixed in later versions of msiexec.
