Verbose log and msiexec log contain contradicting installation status

Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:40 pm

I installed an msi with verbose logging enabled in Install Parameters. I installed the msi using:

msiexec /i SIMS-QA-Installer-2023.1.8761.24128.msi /L*V "N:\IT Documents\SIMS-Installer\Logs\TestMSIExecInstall.log"

The verbose log says the install failed but I cannot find a reason, while the msiexe install log using /L*V says the install succeeded. The install looks to be working. I've included the logs. Any thoughts?

Hello,

This is indeed quite strange.

Are these two logs from the exact same installation?

I'm asking because you normally wouldn't need to enable the log option from "Install Parameters" if you're running the MSI using /L*V option, which should give more details.

Additionally, does your app work fine after the installation? If the application works fine and there are no missing components, I would say it's safe to assume the installation succeeded.

Best regards,
