Is it possible to change the location of the adxloader.log file? Currently my setup is placing this in the My Documents\Add In Express folder. I have checked but cannot seem to find how to relocate this file.

I would like to relocate the log file to c:\Windows folder.

Hi Kevin.

You need to add the 'logFileLocation' element to the adxloader.dll.manifest file as shown below. However, I think it will not work in Vista because of the security reasons.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="MyAddin, PublicKeyToken=8a925cbdc72439fe" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="user" configFileName="app.config">
<logFileLocation>C:\Windows</logFileLocation>
</loaderSettings>
</configuration>

Sergey,

Thank you for the help. Luckily I don't have to deal with Vista at this point. Perhaps you could add the ability to change the location of the log file via a property box or the like in a future version.

Also is it possible to set this up so the log shows all the add-ins in the case of multiple adx add-ins on the same machine? At this point I have several separate add-ins and the log only shows the results for the last one.

Hi Kevin.

No, it is not implemented in Add-in Express.

If I change the location of the log by adding the 'logFileLocation' element to the adxloader.dll.manifest file as shown below and set each add in to a separate location will that result in each log being kept separately? Also can the log file name be changed?


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="MyAddin, PublicKeyToken=8a925cbdc72439fe" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="user" configFileName="app.config">
<logFileLocation>C:\Windows</logFileLocation>
</loaderSettings>
</configuration>

Hi Kevin.

Yes, it should work. But the name of the log file is not configurable.

Am I correct in assuming that if I set the generatelogfile setting to false it will no longer generate the log file?

Hi,

Is the logFileLocation property only available in ADX 2008 adxloader?
