Silent Installation Output

The system verifies compliance with installation prerequisites and places related messages in a file created for that purpose. The following applies to the generation and storage of output messages during silent installation:

• The MSTRInst.log file is created and placed in the Temp folder.
• The MSTRInst.log file is maintained during the entire setup.
• All system-generated messages, including messages containing reasons for pre-installation termination, are stored in the MSTRInst.log file.

If there are installation termination messages in subsequent installation instances that use the same dialog flow, they are also stored in the MSTRInst.log.

The table below identifies the information that the MSTRInst.log file includes:

Line	Description
Function [F]	Identifies the function calls in the setup script.
Information [I]	Logs information about the setup that is running.
Warning [W]	Includes feedback that you must verify related to the setup. For example, in normal mode, when MicroStrategy applications are running on a machine where the setup is being run, you are prompted to close all MicroStrategy applications before proceeding. In silent mode, you are not prompted, and instead the setup terminates.
Severe [S]	Includes fatal problems that prevent the setup from proceeding. For example, the Intelligence Server Service cannot be created and setup fails as a result.

A typical line in the MSTRInst.log file includes source file name, function name, source line number, and time. It appears as follows:

[Z:\InstallMaster\Setup\Script Files\MALicense.rul][UseDLL][l: 28][1318179ms][W] Le file C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{84D0D5E2-719A-11D7-847C-000C293B5019}\{B339F3B3-E78C-45E8-B4D2-3C46C1C13663}\MAInst.dll couldn't be loaded in memory.

When reviewing warning messages in the MSTRInst.log file, look for [W] and [S] to find related problems.
