I have asked chat.openai how to copy the log path to a certain path after it's done setupping.
It proposed this, but I think it's wrong. It expects the log file to be in {app}\SetupLog.log"
, but I don't think it's there.
Here is what it proposed.
Can somebody correct it? I do not set the log path from outside. It will be the default path. I can not change that unfortunately. And when the installation is done, the temp installation folder is deleted, so I don't have a chance to view the log file.
Thank you!
#define LogFileName "SetupLog.log"
#define LogDestination "C:\MyLogs"
[Setup]
DefaultDirName={pf}\My Application
DefaultGroupName=My Application
[Files]
Source: "MyApp.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"
[Code]
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
LogPath: string;
DestinationPath: string;
begin
if CurStep = ssPostInstall then
begin
LogPath := ExpandConstant('{app}\SetupLog.log');
DestinationPath := ExpandConstant(LogDestination + '\SetupLog.log');
if FileCopy(LogPath, DestinationPath, false) then
MsgBox('Log file was copied successfully to ' + DestinationPath, mbInformation, MB_OK)
else
MsgBox('Failed to copy log file to ' + DestinationPath, mbError, MB_OK);
end;
end;
There is a Q & A about this because I asked at one time. I can't find it.
But, this is the code I am now using:
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
ResultCode: integer;
strLogFilePathName, strLogFileName, strNewFilePathName: string;
begin
if (CurStep = ssDone) then
begin
strLogFilePathName := ExpandConstant('{log}');
strLogFileName := ExtractFileName(strLogFilePathName);
strNewFilePathName := ExpandConstant('{#CommonDataDir}\Installation Logs\') + strLogFileName;
FileCopy(strLogFilePathName, strNewFilePathName, false);
end;
end;
Change the folder to copy the log to as required. Notice that I am using ssDone
.
