installation.log does not get copied to installation directory

I use install4J 5.0.9 windows-only as my product's installer. According to the manual, the installation log file should be copied upon installation completion to the installation directory.

However this doesn't happen in my installation. I have an "Install Files" action, executed as part of the "Installation Location" screen.

During the installation I can find the log under %TEMP%\I4J_log*, but it's deleted at the end of the installation (as expected).

Is there another requirement for the log to be copied?

The log file is moved when the installer exits and not after the "Install files" action. This is only done if the directory ${installer:sys.installationDir}/.install4j exists. If the installer process is killed of if you call System.exit() from a script directly, this is not done either.
