I don't know if this is common knowledge but I don't set the MsiLogging property anymore. There' s a known bug in Windows 7 where Explorer / Shell can lose reference to the installer log file location and it causes the installer to crash out. It can manifest itself on uninstall which means you are stuck unless you run the uninstall from the command line passing in an explicit path.

I think it *gets* set to the log file location. You can force your package to require MSI 4.0 by setting the Package/InstallerVersion attribute.
