| Details:Most of files are created in the user temporary folder, when nothing else is specified.
Some others are created in the “C:\Windows\Temp” folder. Such files are named with their full path.
The user temporary folder is, more exactly, located on
- C:\Users\<Installer user>\AppData\Local\Temp\ on most recent OS
- C:\Documents and Settings\<Installer user>\Local Settings\Temp on oldest OS
You can access by typing %Temp% into Run window, only when the installer user is the logged user (when he has Administrator rights)
Warning: AppData is a hidden folder, so you need to allow display of hidden items.
A trick to find the log files more easily:
- Use Details view for the user temporary directory
Sort the display according to the ‘Data modified’ column, so that more recently created files be displaying first.
