Installation log file

An installation log file is created by default, but this file is deleted if the installation succeeds. If your installation does not succeed, you can use the log file to troubleshoot. The log file is saved to your temp directory with a generated name that begins with atm. To open this folder, enter %tmp% in the Start menu's "Search programs and files" text box or in the path box of a Windows Explorer window.
