Installation logs
The DocuShare installer records all initial installation activity and stores it in InstallLog.txt in the Temp
directory of the server (enter %temp% at a command prompt to view the Temp directory. Then enter >dir to
see the logs in Temp). After the installer creates the DocuShare directory, it creates a second
DocuShareInstallLog.txt file in the home directory; where it stores the remaining installation information.
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.
