How to create Windows Installer log files
Windows Installer logging can be enabled for a single installation with a command line
parameter. Alternatively, logging can be enabled for all installations on the same computer by
setting a registry key.
1. There is a command line option for the Windows Installer msiexec.exe. This option can be set in
the command line or in the file setup.ini. The syntax of the option is
/l<option> <filename>
Example
This example creates a file named vmb10install.log in the folder c:\tmp using the option *v to
include all possible information.
/l*v c:\tmp\vmb10install.log
The parameter can also be used for setup_vmb.exe, in which case the command line parameters
have to be entered differently. The following example for setup_vmb.exe creates a setup log file
on partition D: before starting the installation:
setup_vmb.exe /v"/L*V d:\vmb10install.log"
2. The value data “voicewarmupx” in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer creates logging files
(MSIxxxxx.LOG, e.g. MSIc3509.LOG) for all installations performed on the computer in the TEMP
folder of the current user account. The value data “7” creates additional debug information.
Value Name Value Type Value Data Description
Logging
REG_SZ voicewarmupx Enables logging.
Debug
REG_DWORD 7 Additional debug information.
Which items remain on the system after removing VMB 10?
In general, all data created at run-time will remain on the system. For instance, after removing the
Vodafone Mobile Broadband application, all folders and files in the following folders remain on
the computer.
Folder
%AppData%\Vodafone\Vodafone Mobile Broadband
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Vodafone
After removing the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application, the following registry key remains on
the computer.
