Problem

Info

When there are install or uninstall issues, check the logs.  The Adams version determines how to do that.

Solution

Adams v5.5.0 and Later

Starting with Adams 5.5.0, verbose logging is enabled by default.

...

  • MSI log file: <Adams application name>_<date and time>_setup<architecture>.log
  • EXE log file: <Adams application name>_<date and time>.log

Pre-Adams v5.5.0

Prior to Adams 5.5.0, verbose logging had to be enabled manually as follows:

If there are install/uninstall issues one of the first things to try is verbose logging.

Install EXE w/Log

<EXE_FILE_NAME> /v"/l*v \"InstallLog.txt\""

Install MSI w/Log

msiexec /i <MSI_FILE_NAME> /l*v "InstallLog.txt"

Uninstall EXE w/Log

<EXE_FILE_NAME> /v"/x /l*v \"InstallLog.txt\""

Uninstall MSI w/Log

msiexec /x <MSI_FILE_NAME> /l*v "UninstallLog.txt"

Repair Windows Files

If there are corrupt Windows' system files, then installers can fail.  To verify and repair Windows' system files, at an administrative command prompt (i.e. run as administrator), run this command:

sfc /scannow
