    Hello everyone,

     

    thank you for your replies; I found the reason of the problem: It had nothing to do with TC: Another application is stealing the log if I call a particular function in my application, even if I do it manually.

That is a bit odd... however, it might have to do with how you're running TC.  I THINK that folder is typically protected... so, if you're not running TC as an administrator or someone with proper access, your application which is run in that context might not be able to write to the log folder.
