The silent installation process automatically generates a log file, in which all messages—error and successful installation—are reported.

A log file, oesetup.log, is automatically generated for the OpenEdge installation. The data captured in this log contains status information that you can query at run time. The oesetup.log file can also be used to debug a silent installation.

An initial oesetup.log file is created when you perform a silent installation. If you re-run the silent installation, subsequent oesetup.log files are automatically created and saved as oesetup.log.1, oesetup.log.2, oesetup.log.3, and so forth. In all cases, by default the file is created in the C:\Windows directory.

An excerpt from an example oesetup.log file follows:
