The Status and Description fields, along with their corresponding values, provide information
on the results of the installation. In this example, the installation was successful, as indicated
by the bold items above.
For a failure, the fields above might be set as follows:
NAME = "Status"
VALUE = "Failed"
NAME = "Description"
VALUE = "Installation aborted by the user."
If the MIF file indicates success, then there is no need to be concerned with the log file. If the
MIF file indicates that the installation failed, and you feel more troubleshooting is necessary,
you will need to review the log file.
The Log File in Quiet Mode
The log file provides you with much more detail about the actions that took place during the
execution of the tool. This file is helpful when troubleshooting Quiet Mode.
The System Requirements Wizard log file is written to the location specified by the LogFile
option given on the Quiet Mode command line.
