Digital Certificates
All Server Administrator packages for Microsoft are digitally signed with a certificate that helps guarantee
the integrity of the installation packages. If these packages are repackaged, edited, or manipulated in
other ways, the digital signature is invalidated. This manipulation results in an unsupported installation
package and the prerequisite checker does not allow you to install the software.
Enabling Windows Installer Logging Service
Windows includes a registry-activated logging service to help diagnose Windows Installer issues.
To enable this logging service during a silent install, open the registry editor and create the following path
and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
The letters in the value field can be in any order. Each letter turns on a different logging mode.
Each letter's actual function is as follows for MSI version 3.1:
v — Verbose output
o — Out-of-disk-space message
i —Status message
c — Initial UI parameter
e — All error message
w — Non-fatal warning
a — Startup of action
r — Action-specific record
m — Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u — User request
p — Terminal property
