A Windows XP SP2 Logfile?

[Zman0001]

Hello everyone!

I'm scripting an unattended installation of Windows XP SP2 for my organization.

Does anybody know if there is a log file written by the Windows XP SP2 upgrade? I am trying to determine if the upgrade is successful after the upgrade sequence, but before reboot. I need something to test against so I can determine if I need to set up the RunOnceEX registry keys to run my post configuration script or not.

Is there log file written, or any changes made to the system very late in the installation that I can test for?

Thanks for your help!

I'd avoid doing upgrade installations if you can.

I don't know if there's a specific Upgrade install log but I do know you should end up with these:

comsetup.log

ocgen.log

setupact.log

setupapi.log

setuperr.log

Any problems will show up in setuperr.log.

svcpack.log should be in system32 directory

Civerson is right, it is svcpack.log, but I must agree with Raskren - upgrade installations are road to hell!
