Description
When running a QT installer or a maintenancetool, it generates the InstallationLog.txt file.
This files contains detailed information about the install, but it also contain the details of all Operations performed by the installer.
When we use the QT installer to perform some operations that contain credentials and passwords (such as creating an sql database,etc...), it is then possible to open the InstallationLog.txt and have clear access to those credentials.
This is a big security concern as the end-user can easily have access to some credentials that should not be exposed to him.
It would be nice to be able to set a parameter from a ControlScript to completely disable the creation of this InstallationLog file.
Also, it would be nice if we could from a ControlScript or ComponentScript be able to temporary disable/enable logging to the InstallationLog.txt. This way we still have the InstallationLog.txt but make sure that some information will not appear into it.
Any thoughts?
