I think the beginning of your reply got cut off, but I think I understood what you were trying to say (writing to an existing log file is generally a bad idea).

That's the part I was missing. Some quick work and I'm getting log messages out of my installer scripts into an external file of my choice. Now to add some sufficiently descriptive messages.
