It appears that MsiLogging needs to be either set in the Property table or
indirectly on the command line. It does not appear to support conditional
initialization:
The MsiLogging property sets the default logging mode for the Windows
Installer package. If this
optional property is present in the Property table, the installer
generates a log file named
MSI*.LOG. The full path to the log file is given by the value of the
MsiLogFileLocation property.

Subject: [WiX-users] Use of MsiLogging in Burn driven MSI
I have a chain of Burn driven MSIs. I implemented a MSILOGGINGVALUE property
(and related variable which Burn initializes and the mba overrides). If the
MSILOGGINGVALUE property is provided to the package I do a conditional
SetProperty action on MsiLogging, scheduled after LaunchConditions. But
regardless of what this property is set to 'iwearmo', 'voicewarmup', or 'iwe',
the resulting log is always supper verbose and larger than if there is no
MsiLogging property set in the MSI package (which is supposed to default to
iwearmo when the group policy and reg keys do not exist).
I noticed the community addition, added to the following link, which warns
against using 'v', 'x', and '!' in MsiLogging. I am curious whether my
observations are common and what the best practice is in regard to setting
MsiLogging. I am using wix 3.9.1006 and targeting Win 7 or later. My
observations are on Win 8 and Win 8.1 in particular.

Thanks for any information. Phill
