The Installation Log Files

If you encounter any problems during the installation, you can find details about the problem in the installation log file, adonet43_64.log or adonet43_32.log, whichever is applicable. The log file is located by default in your temporary directory (for example, C:\Temp).

You can read the log file with a text editor or word processor. Although the file can be very long, the most important information is at the beginning and end. The final lines of the log file indicate whether the installation was successful. Progress DataDirect provides customer support to help you interpret the log file if you encounter problems.

For a silent installation, the initial lines reproduce all of the command-line arguments that you entered. If there was a failure, check the command-line entries closely to see if the syntax is correct.

The log may contain messages pertaining to components that you did not install, or to a version of Visual Studio that is not installed on your machine, for example, Visual Studio 2015 if your machine has only Visual Studio 2017 (or vice versa). If the end of the log file indicates that installation completed successfully, you can ignore the other messages.

You can also refer to the DPESetup.log, which logs DPE execution details. A separate log file called DPEErrorLog is created if any errors occur during DPE Setup.

You can also refer to LicUtilLog, which logs the LicUtil execution. A separate log file called LicUtilErrorLog is created if any errors occur during licensing.
