VMware GSX Server and VMware Virtual Machine Console Installation Log Files
GSX Server keeps an installation log file on the server host.

On a remote client, the VMware Virtual Machine Console keeps an installation log file.
If you encounter problems installing the VMware Virtual Machine Console, please
submit a support request and this log file.

On a Windows host, the file is VMInst.log. It is saved in your TEMP directory; the
default location is C:\Documents and Settings\\Local

Settings\Temp

. The Local Settings folder is hidden by default. To see its

contents, open My Computer, choose Tools > Folder Options, click the View tab and
select Show Hidden Files and Folders.

On a Linux host, the log is called locations and is stored in /etc/vmware.
