status information and details about problems that users encountered during installation (for example, low
disc space or inadequate permissions).
The network log is named with the same name you chose for your deployment. You can specify where the
log file is created by entering either a valid UNC (universal naming convention) path or hard-coded path on
your network, for example \\MyComputer\Autodesk\<Autodesk product>. Users should use their actual computer
name in place of MyComputer.
NOTE The folder where the network log resides must be a shared folder where users who install the program have
Change permissions. Otherwise, successes or failures for user installations cannot be written to the log file.
■ Client log. The client log contains detailed installation information for each workstation. This information
may be useful in diagnosing installation problems. The client log is located in the %Temp% directory of each
client workstation.
To specify a log file location
1 While creating a deployment, on the General Deployment Settings page, select the check box next to the
Create Network Log box. Enter the name of the folder where you want the network log to be located.
2 If you want to create a client log, select the Create Client Log option.
3 Click Next.
What Is Silent Mode?
When silent mode is active and a user initiates the deployment, the installation proceeds without any explicit
user input.
No dialog boxes are presented that require interaction from the user. This includes all error and warning dialog
boxes. Check the log file for errors that may occur in the event of installation problems.
