Is it possible to have a custom location and file name for adxregistrator.log? May be as a switch passed to the adxregistrator.exe?

Requirement: Since we have multiple add-ins, we don't want it to be overwritten.

Hi P?ri,

Sure. Please have a look at the http://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects_pub/adxloader_adxregistrator_custom_place.zip add-in project.

Hi Eugene,

Didn't quite figure out from the example you attached.

Are you saying that adxregistrator.log also gets created at the same location configured by <logFileLocation> tag in the adxloader.dll.manifest?

Thank you

Hi P?ri,

Nope. Please take a look at the custom actions stage in the setup project. The following arguments are passed to the adxregistrator.exe utility:

/install="MyAddin19.dll" /privileges=user /log="D:\11111\adxregistrator.log"


The /log key does the trick!

Hi Eugene,

Thanks. It worked. I was even able to give windows folder variables like "%temp%".

I had one issue though. I was not able to change the name of the log file. Only if I named it as "adxregistrator.log" it worked. If it's not supported now, may be you can add it in a future release.

Thank you

Hi,

Tip or Possible work-around:

You could make it go to unique directories inside %temp% folder, such as %temp%\addin1\, %temp%\addin2 and so on.

Usually, if customer reports this issue, what you could do is make it go to \My Documents\Addin1, \My Documents\Addin2 and so on.


Thank you

This feature is implemented in the current intermediate build of Add-in Express 2010. We will publish a new build on our web site soon.
