LogPath (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the LogPath setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting specifies the path of the log file to use during the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 4.0 phase of installation. This log file is used only to log the events related to configuring Windows PE 4.0 and not Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
Windows PE 4.0 is a minimal operating system designed to prepare a computer for Windows installation. The log files that are used to configure Standard 8, available in the %WINDIR%\panther or $windows.~bt\sources\panther folder, cannot be changed.
LogPath contains a string, with a maximum length of 259 characters. The value must be the fully qualified, non-UNC path of a directory on a hard disk of the local computer. For example, to create log files in a Log folder at the root of the C drive, set this value to C:\Log. This value cannot be empty.
This setting refers to a directory where the log files are written, instead of an individual log file. These log files contain details for settings related to the windowsPE configuration pass.
