/Log (devenv.exe)
Logs all activity to the log file for troubleshooting. This file appears after you've called devenv /log
at least once. By default, the log file is located here:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Version>\ActivityLog.xml
where <Version> is the Visual Studio version. However, you may specify a different path and file name.
devenv /Log NameOfLogFile
NameOfLogFile
Required. The full path and name of the log file to save to.
This switch must appear at the end of the command line, after all other switches.
The log is written only for all instances of Visual Studio that you've opened with the /Log
switch.
This example directs logging to the MyVSLog.xml
file in the user's home directory.
devenv /log "%USERPROFILE%\MyVSLog.xml"
