Installation log files
The log file rrinstall40.txt 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 contains 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"

Installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 with existing versions
If you are installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 on a machine with Rescue and
Recovery 3.1 installed, you can use the over-install feature. If you are installing
Rescue and Recovery 4.2 over versions 1, 2 or 3.0, uninstall the previous version
through Windows Add/Remove programs and then install Rescue and Recovery
4.2. See “Overinstall considerations” on page 5 for more information.
