Installation logs
The DocuShare installer records all initial installation activity and stores it in DocuShareInstallLog.txt in

second DocuShareInstallLog.txt file in the home directory where it stores the remaining installation data.
To save the initial DocuShareInstallLog file, start the installation process in a command prompt window by
entering the command: docushare.exe -P docushareLog.cleanUp=false
