Environment
Product | Progress® Telerik® Reporting |
Description
Telerik Reporting is distributed as a windows installer setup package and is shipped as a single .msi file.
In order to troubleshoot problems raised during the Telerik Reporting installation process, information from the log file should be obtained.
Solution
-
By default the setup package is named Telerik_Reporting_<version>.msi (e.g. <version> is 2012_Q3_SP1) and. you can obtain it in two ways:
Downloading it from www.telerik.com: Log in first and navigate to Manage Products -> DevCraft Ultimate -> Download Installer and other Resources -> Reporting -> Browse all product files -> Automatic Installation: Download Reporting.
In case you use the Telerik Control Panel all the packages are cached on your disk. You can find the download location from the Telerik Control Panel's Options: dialogSettings->Download Folder Location
-
Once you locate the msi file’s path(<path>), run the msiexec command with logging information enabled from command prompt:
- msiexec /i <path>\Telerik_Reporting_<version>.msi -l*xv <logFilePath>install.log
- msiexec /i <path>\Telerik_Reporting_<version>.msi -l*xv <logFilePath>install.log
-
The following example starts Telerik Reporting setup package and logs all activity to the C:\install.log file.
- msiexec /i C:\Telerik_Reporting_Q1_2013_SP1_DEV.msi -l*xv C:\install.log
