REBOOT
The REBOOT property suppresses certain prompts for

this property with a series of installations to install several
products at the same time with only one reboot at the
end. Set REBOOT=“R”to disable any reboots at the end
of an install.
Installation log file
The installation log file of Client Security Solution is named as cssinstall83xx.log, and is created in the
%temp% directory if the setup is launched by the setup.exe file (double-click the install.exe file, run the
executable without parameters, or extract the MSI package and run the setup.exe file). This file contains log
messages that can be used to debug installation problems. The log file includes any activities performed by
the Add/Remove applet in Control Panel. The log file is not created when you are running the setup.exe file
directly from the MSI package. To create a log file for all MSI actions, you can enable the logging policy in
the registry. To do this, create the following value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
