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

It is plugin version of KiCHiK's function "Dump_log_to_file". The main difference it is the speed of the dumping.

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

dumplog::DumpLog "$INSTDIR\log.txt" .r0
MessageBox MB_OK "$0"

The output variable is necessary. The installer will crash without it. It should return 0 if nothing went wrong.
