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. Note: In case of a failed silent
installation, an error message is recorded in the
oesetup.log file along
with a return code. The value of result code varies on the type of error encountered. An
example of the error log in the oesetup.log file is as follows:
InstallShield failed (resultcode = xx)"See Return Values and Run-Time Errors for common
result code values.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:
