MSI Installer log

We recommend that you check the box and keep the log file handy until the installation has been validated. This way if there are any issues you can easily pass the installation log files on to the 1E Support department. Here is an example of the final page of the PXE Everywhere Central installer with the Show the Windows Installer log checkbox shown:
