UninstallLogging=yes option?

[Martin Ba]

Hi!

I was wondering if forcing logging on uninstall still requires manually adding the log switch to the registry (And the uninstall shortcut, if I create one). (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2513984/how-to-force-innosetup-to-create-an-uninstall-log-file )

Was there a reason the equivalent of SetupLogging=yes, but for uninstall, was never added to Inno other than low priority?

I found SetupLogging=yes to be immensely valuable for our main installer (lot's of complicated checks wrt. 3rd party components) and recently focus has shifted a bit to "clean" uninstall, and a simple option to always being able to grab the uninstall log would be very convenient.

cheers.

Hi,

I've added an UninstallLogging directive to the next version. It only works if you run the uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs.

Logging starts before the .dat is read which is why it works by altering the ARP UninstallString instead, like the StackOverflow question you link also does.

I don't know when the next version will be released.

Greetings,

Martijn

Thanks a bunch! 

Now I really need to schedule The Big Update (still on 5.6(a) for the most part) for my projects! :-D

cheers.
