Hi,

According to the post "//www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?MID=43620#message43620" you were going to add the feature of being able to use an environment variable for the adxloader log file location.

Is this implemented?

Hello,

Yes, it is implemented in Add-in Express 2010 for Office and .NET, 6.4.3056. The keyword is LogFileLocation.

OK. I got it to work with the AppDataFolder variable when the specified folder did exists when the log file was to be created. But when the log folder did not exists, the log file was not created. Did I do something wrong?

I specified the following in the manifest file:

<logFileLocation>%AppDataFolder%\MyProduct\Logs\MyLog.txt</logFileLocation>

Make sure that you replaced loader files in your project with their newer versions in {Add-in Express}\Redistributables.

I have version 6.4.3056.0 of the loader and I can't find any newer.

Does the user have appropriate permissions? Can you try creating a folder in that location?
