Redirect logging for SSEE?

    I would like to run the SSEE install from the command line, and specify a directory for log output. In other words, I would like to send the log files somewhere other than the default location.

    I have spent some time digging through Microsoft's documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx, but don't see anything documented. So this group is my last hope.

    Does anyone know of an undocumented command-line switch which will redirect logging to a directory of my choice, instead of %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG?

    Thanks.

    You can change the location by defining the location before creating the database, if the new location is on a Network drive you need to run DBCC Traceon before creating the database.  The standard location change is covered below.  I am assuming you know all the files in that database will be in the folder not just the log file.  Hope this helps.

    To clarify: I was asking how to redirect the logging for the SSEE install, not the runtime logs.

    And after some experimentation, I discovered the answer. Simply pass 'LOGPATH=""' as one of the command-line arguments.

    Thanks for the reply.
