Details:All files are created in the User temporary folder.
This folder is, more exactly, located on C:\Users\<Installer user>\AppData\Local\Temp\
The “installer user” can be:
– The logged user, when this user has administrator rights
– The admin user who really do install, when the logged user has not administrator rights
You can access by typing %Temp% into Run window, only when the installer user is the logged user (when he has Administrator rights)
Warning: AppData is a hidden folder, so you need to allow display of hidden items.
A trick to find the log files more easily:
– Use Details view for the user temporary directory
– Sort the display according to the ‘Data modified’ column, so that more recently created files be displaying first.
