Dump log to file

Description

This function will dump the log of the installer (installer details) to a file of your choice. I created this function for Afrow_UK who requested a way to dump the log to a file in this forum thread. This function will not work in silent mode. == How To Use == To use it push a file name and call it. It will dump the log to the file specified. For example:

GetTempFileName $0
Push $0
Call DumpLog
