Log uninstallation of package when removed from ARP

Jump to solution

Hi

The Installer is generating log when Installation/Uninstallation is done with the help of .msi or .exe.

When I'm trying to uninstall from ARP the Log is not getting generated.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Please advice.

Hi @JayeshSoni,

Thank you for your post.

If you are configuring a Basic MSI package or an InstallScript MSI package, could you please follow these steps to generate a verbose MSI uninstall log?

1. In the Windows Registry Editor, create the following Windows Registry entries:

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Type: Reg_SZ
Value: Logging
Data: voicewarmupx

per the documentation at the following link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/enable-windows-installer-logging

2. Uninstall the product.

Note: This approach will automatically generate a verbose MSI install, repair, uninstall, etc. log for every MSI-based package run on the target machine, I believe, until this specific Windows Registry entry is renamed or removed completely:

Value: Logging

The verbose MSI log will be created in the %Temp% folder in File Explorer.

Please give this a try. Does this work for you?

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
