The reason for the 1 file was not to speed up things but to limit the number of 
logfiles in the temp directory (and maybe the ability to remove this file as we 
know the one we created ourselves).

On all of my boxes (95/98/NT/W2K/ 2 times XP/W2K3/Vista) I end up with 200 or so 
logfiles in the temp directory after running the install tests. On none of these 
boxes did I do anything to tinker with the msi logging settings.

It would be nice if other could tell if they have a huge number of these 
logfiles in their temp directory after running the tests.
