- BentleyInstallationlLog.log: This log file contains information about all the actions and analysis performed by the installation setup wizard. It also saves the installation commands used to install the application. In case of any error in the installation, it stores the error code. The string LOG_FILES_FOLDER in this file points to the installation log folder location. This file is common for all the Bentley products. Each time a Bentley application is installed, this log file is appended with the content of the application.
- Installation log: When you install the application, its installation log is created. This log is saved in a new folder created inside C:\Users\User.Name\AppData\Local\Temp. The name of the new folder is randomly generated, such as E32830B5-3516-489D-AE49-EB1BD8A10867. If you execute the installation multiple times, the latest log can be taken from the last modified/created folder. The LOG_FILES_FOLDER string in the BentleyInstallationlLog.log file also points to the installation log folder location.
