Description

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.

Usage

Place dumplog.dll inside the {NSIS INSTALL DIR}\Plugins directory. Use the following sytax:

DumpLog::Dumplog file_to_log_to user_var(status)

e.g.

Push $0
DumpLog::DumpLog "$INSTDIR\log.txt" $0
MessageBox MB_OK "$0"
Pop $0

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