2.4.1.7 File Log Functions

A file log records information about the files copied to a system during an installation. It can be used for emergency repair or as a diagnostic tool.

The file used to log file installations can either be the system log, that stores a record of the files installed with the Windows NT operating system, or your own file log.

The following functions are used with file logs.

SetupInitializeFileLog

SetupLogFile

Adds an entry to the log file.

SetupQueryFileLog

Retrieves information from a log file.

SetupRemoveFileLogEntry

Removes an entry from a log file.

SetupTerminateFileLog
