Summary:

Unexpected behavior during the PcVue installation process.

Details:

The Log Files are found in the User’s temporary folder unless otherwise stated. By default these folders are:

  • XP, 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
  • Vista, W7, 2008: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp

These folders are normally hidden and you may have to change the Windows Folder Settings to display them.

  • XP, 2003: Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder options
  • Vista, W7, 2008: Windows Explorer/Organize/Folder and search options

Other useful information

If necessary it is possible to force the generation of a log file for all Windows Installer use by changing the registry.

  • Under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
  • Just create an entry RG_SZ, Name = Logging, Data = voicewarmupx

This option can slow down all installations – do not keep it longer than necessary.
The generated Log files names have the following form: MSIxxxxx.log
