Silent install log files

You can use silent install log files to examine the results of a silent installation session.

The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log file that records the result of the silent install execution (as long as a log file path is specified using –log <your log file path>). If your silent installation session is successful, the log file will contain just the root element of <result> </result>. However, if these errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file will contain error elements with messages such as:

<result>
	<error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error>
	<error> some other errors</error>
</result>
For detail analysis, you can look at the logs generated in the Installation Manager data area. By using a preference command, you can optionally set the data area to your preferred location, as shown in the response file topic.
