Error log location

[RFRouter]

Hi All,

When you get a message that an error log will be created. Where I can find this error log?

Thanks,

Some script?

Also use @ScriptDir or absolute path in your LOG path. Without this it's in current active directory.

If it is from a program that you didn't write, check the install folder. AutoIt doesn't natively produce error logs to the best of my knowledge.

The program before shuting down does say that it is writing to a log file. I couldn't find any log files in the active directory.

Uh.. what's the program? That kind of information might help. Just a little.

Is it an old-school Dr. Watson log?

From KB308538:

If a program error occurs, Dr. Watson for Windows starts automatically. To configure Dr. Watson, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type drwtsn32, and then click OK.

By default, the log file created by Dr. Watson is named Drwtsn32.log and is saved in the following location:

drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINNT\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson

Note Drwatson.exe is an older program error debugger that was included with earlier versions of Windows NT. Microsoft recommends that you use Drwtsn32.exe instead of Drwatson.exe in Windows XP.
