Is the installer log automatically saved anywhere? If not, is there a common
way that people do this? It seems like a pretty standard thing to want to do
with an installer.
I put quite a bit of diagnostic info in the log in case things go wrong on
unanticipated system configurations. I would like to be able to tell
customers to send in their log file. I've looked in /Library/Receipts,
/Library/Logs, ~/Library/Logs and /var/log which seems to contain some Apple
logs. There are some installation logs to be found, but not mine.
I know the user can save the log manually before they quit the installer,
but be honest, no user is going to do that proactively and they may well
have deleted the installer and be unable to re-run it later on to get the
diagnostics.
Thanks for any info,
