2008 Install logs
SETUP:
During installation, Shift-F10 will get you a command prompt. Plug and Play should be working, so you can copy any log files to a USB drive.
During the install, if the error happens:
1) Before local disk selection, look in:
%Windir%\Panther (specifically, \UnattendGC\Setupact.log, but it’s better to just get the entire \Panther directory). Before a local disk is selected, %Windir% will almost always be on X: drive. This is on the RAM disk created by WinPE.
2) Before the first reboot, get (from the hard drive you are installing to):
$windows.~bt\sources\panther\*.*
3) After the reboot, get:
%Windir%\Panther\*.* (at this point, %Windir% is usually C:.)
Installing hotfixes, features or Windows updates:
cbs.log and (possibly) cbs.persist.log. These are limited to 50 Mb in size and are in:
%Windir%\logs\CBS
An additional log for Windows updates is:
%Windir%\windowsupdate.log
Two additional servicing logs are available in %windir%\winsxs\
Poqexec.log and pending.xml.bad
