Sub Tasks

Description
There is a memory leak with CreateLogFile() and MSIGetLogFileName()
char* CreateLogFile() in deploy\src\plugin\win32\regutils\RegCommon.cpp
allocates char *absTempFileName = new char[MAX_PATH]
and returns absTempFileName but MSIGetLogFileName() does not free the memory.
I assume the memory is freed when the install exits.

Comments
SUGGESTED FIX

in webrev for 6647280
functions rewritten so calls to CreateLogFile() pass in a max size / pointer to the string and the memory is allocated on the stack.
