Installation log files
The log file rrinstall40.txt is created in the %temp% directory if the setup is
launched by the setup.exe file (double click the main install.exe file and then run
the main executable without parameters, or extract msi and run the setup.exe file).
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"
