Install4j : Not able to copy installation logs to another location

For install4j 5.1.6 , I am trying to add a vm option and setting its values as "-Dinstall4j.keepLog=true" in the options. I also tried this option -Dinstall4j.alternativeLogfile=C:\

But if some error condition occurs the during installation, and installation is cancelled . The logs are not retained They get deleted from the temp folder also . I want to retain the logs , even if the installation was cancelled.

Adding

-Dinstall4j.keepLog=true

to the "VM parameters" property of the "Installer" on the "Installer->Screens & Actions" step will prevent the log files from being deleted.

The log file in the %TEMP% directory has a name that starts with "i4jlog...".

The option 

-Dinstall4j.alternativeLogfile=c:\path\to\logfile.txt

allows you to select a fixed location for the log file. The path must be writable.
