The log file location will depend on the point of when the installed failed:
- Before the installation starts in WinPE Pass – x:\windows\panther – WinPE only - Use Shift+F10 to open command window and run notepad.exe
- After installation starts – c:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther - Use Shift+F10 to open command window and run notepad.exe
- After installation is completed – c:\windows\panther
Log files to review:
- Setupact.log – master log file for the whole installation process.
- Setuperr.log – smaller version of Setupact.log, but only includes the errors. This should be the first log to look at.
- Cbs_unattend.log - this log records the package setup and answer file processing
