Install4j: Error Message in unattended mode

Question

I have an installer which supports unattended mode of installation. When there is an error like (no sufficient space, no access,..), the error messages are shown properly in GUI mode. however, its not showing any error message during unattended mode.

Is there a option to show the error messages during the unattended mode as well?

Note: I have windows and Linux installers

Thanks a lot for the help

No, you would have to look at the log file for analyzing errors. The log file is written to [installation directory]/.install4j/installation.log.

If the installer exits with a fatal error before the "Install files" action has run, you can find the log file in the %TEMP% directory (Mac OS X: $TMPDIR, Linux/Unix: $TMP). The name of the log file starts with "i4jlog..." in that case.
