How do I create an installation log file?

If you are having problems installing the application and you cannot see from the existing error
messages what the problem is, you may be able to solve the problem by creating a log file as the
installation procedure is running. To do this, you need to run the installation program manually,
as follows:
Open a command prompt and go to the directory on the CD containing the installation program,
E
IBMSPSSDataCollectionServer.exe.
E To log just the application part of the installation, type:
log_filename /i"
want to create. To log the IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration
part of the installation as well, type
LOGDIM_INSTALL=TRUE /i"
Files\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\6\Installer\Interviewer Server Administration\DimInstallLog.txt.

When you run applications from your browser, the browser maintains a number of temporary files
that help it to keep track of what you have done and to run the application as efficiently as possible.
Sometimes, when you install and run a different version of an application, your browser attempts
to reuse the information in the temporary files. If this no longer matches the way the application
works, errors will occur. You can solve this problem easily by deleting the temporary files.
