I took the msi call code out of wcautil and called it manually without
without the checks for log level.
Using the log command directly from wcalog.cpp
MsiProcessMessage(install, INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO, hrec); returns 0 creating
no output
Modifying it to try and force logging
MsiProcessMessage(install, INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR, hrec); returns 0 logging
as expected
Both of these are being called with msiexec /i installer.msi /l*vx!
install.log
Is there another call I should be looking for an error return on?
