of an install.

Installation log files

The installation log file for Client Security Solution is named cssinstall82x32.log (for Windows XP and
Windows Vista 32) or css64install82V.log (for Windows Vista 64), and is created in the %temp% directory
if the setup is launched by setup.exe (double click the main install.exe, run the main executable without
parameters, or extract msi and execute setup.exe). This file contain log messages that can be used to debug
installation problems. This log file is not created when running the setup directly from the MSI package; this
includes any actions performed from Add/Remove Programs. To create a log file for all MSI actions, you can
enable the logging policy in the registry. To do this, create the value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
