Reviewing the Log of an Installation Session
During an installation, Oracle Universal Installer records all the actions that it performs in a log file. If you encounter problems during the installation, review the log file for information about possible causes of the problem.
By default, the log files are located in the following directory:
SYSTEM_DRIVE:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs
Log filenames from interactive installations take the form:
installActionsdate_time.log oraInstalldate_time.err oraInstalldate_time.out
For example, if an interactive installation occurred at 9:00:56 a.m. on October 14, 2005, then the log file is named:
installActions2005-10-14_09-00-56AM.log
Note:
Do not delete or manually alter the Inventory directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent Oracle Universal Installer from locating products that you install on your system.
