It's true that it oftens goes too fast, but once the installpanel has
finished and before clicking next, we could have a button for saving the
log. That would do the job.

This is another nice solution. Just pick up which one ever you think is the
best. If we choose the second one then i vote for adding a checkbox on
finishpanel to open or not the log that has been created automatically by
installpanel.
If you need code i have something for it...

No problem, I'll do the docu as soon as we decided which one to use and how.
