Install4j Windows Gui app does not create log file

Question

Problem

"Windows Archive" generates log file and "Windows" not.

I'm using install4j to generate a windows gui application. I only have one launcher and redirected stderr and stdout.

Then I create two media files: "Windows" and "Windows Archive".

If I use the "windows archive" type the log files are created and filed with content. If I use the "windows" type the log files are not created.

I know that in both cases the same error happened, so there should be the same output in both cases.

Thanks in advance

If the redirection files are not writable, you have to specify a location where they can be written such as

${installer:sys.localAppdataDir}\mystderr.log

Redirection files for generated launchers are configured on the "Executable info->Redirection" step of the launcher wizard.
