Location of the Rational installation logs for versions 2003.06 and 7.0

 Technote (FAQ)
 
Question
What is the location of the IBM® Rational® installation logs for Rational products of version 2003.06.xx and 7.0 which use the Rational Common Installer?
 
Cause
The Rational log files are useful in diagnosing issues with your Rational installation.
 
Answer
The Rational installation logs are stored in the %temp% directory of the user that installed the product.

You can identify the installation user %temp% directory through either of the following two methods:

Method 1:

  1. Open a command prompt through Start > Run... and entering CMD
  2. At the command prompt enter the following command and hit enter:
    echo %temp%
  3. The result of the previous command will look like the following:

    C:\DOCUME~1\<userName>\LOCALS~1\Temp

    Which translates to:

    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp


Method 2:
  1. Right click My Computer and select Properties
  2. Select the Advanced Tab and then select the Environment Variables
  3. Review the TMPDIR System variable for the installation users %temp% directory


Once you have identified the installation users %temp% directory, navigate to the directory and sort the files by date. Look for any files that have the date set to the date you installed your Rational products:
  • At a minimum the following files are listed:

    rational_eventhandler.log
    rational_install.log
    RSSetup.log

    (this may have a different date)
  • There may be additional logs such as:

    response.ini
    clearquest_installation.log
    MSI*.log

    (MSI72025.log for example)
