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 | Initializes a log file for use. |
| SetupLogFile | Adds an entry to the log file. |
| SetupQueryFileLog | Retrieves information from a log file. |
| SetupRemoveFileLogEntry | Removes an entry from a log file. |
| SetupTerminateFileLog | Releases resources allocated to a log file. |
For more information on the file log functions, see the Win32 SDK documentation.
