nsExec::ExecToLog not showing in install.log

AaronLS · 2nd May 2008, 14:23

I have started using the awsome nsExec to run things like regasm. It seems that the ExecToLog shows up in the install log page, but not in the install.log that is created by the Advanced Logging build. Is this a bug? I am wondering if the way it is being redirected to the log page is somehow bypassing the point at which the logging is done to the file.

I have a feeling that I will need to just use ExecToStack and push to the log manually, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

The things written to the log and the things written to install.log are two completely different things. If you want to write plug-in output to the log, you'll have to do this manually with LogText.
