Setting the Directory Path of the Text Logs

By default, the SetupAPI text logs are located in the system Windows directory. The ___location of the SetupAPI text logs can be changed by setting the following REG_SZ registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\LogPath

The LogPath registry value must be a fully qualified directory path. The path must exist, and the path cannot include a file name.

If the LogPath registry value is not present, the path does not exist, or the path includes a file name, SetupAPI locates the text logs in the %SystemRoot%/Inf directory.
