== Links ==

Download v1.0:<br>
<attach>DumpLog.zip</attach>

== Description ==
This plugin will dump the log of the installer (installer details)
to a file.

It is plugin version of [[User:KiCHiK|KiCHiK]]'s function "[[Dump_log_to_file]]".
The main difference it is the speed of the dumping.

== Usage ==
Place dumplog.dll inside the {NSIS INSTALL DIR}\Plugins directory.

<highlight-nsis>
dumplog::DumpLog "$INSTDIR\log.txt" .r0
MessageBox MB_OK "$0"</highlight-nsis>

The output variable reference is '''necessary'''. The installer will crash without it. It should return 0 if nothing went wrong. Do not use a variable name - e.g:
<highlight-nsis>$0</highlight-nsis>

Use a reference to that variable name - e.g:
<highlight-nsis>.0</highlight-nsis>
