To obtain the Symphony Desktop Application (SDA) installation logs for Windows, you need to run the installer from the command line.
The following syntax is required:
msiexec /i [installer name] /l*vx [log file name]
For example, if the installer name was Symphony-Win64-9.1.3-576.msi and the log file name was Syminstall.log, the syntax would read:
msiexec /i Symphony-Win64-9.1.3-576.msi /l*vx Syminstall.log
- Additionally, paths can be appended before the installer and the log file location.
Additional syntax available for the l log options are:
i - Status messages
w - Nonfatal warnings
e - All error messages
a - Start up of actions
r - Action-specific records
u - User requests
c - Initial UI parameters
m - Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
o - Out-of-disk-space messages
p - Terminal properties
v - Verbose output
x - Extra debugging information
+ - Append to existing log file
! - Flush each line to the log
* - Log all information, except for v and x options
