I'm trying to install FME but I am getting errors. If there was a log file, it might be helpful to identify what is going on!

You can run the FME installer using the command line and specify that it log out to a text file.

Use the following command inside a Command Prompt as Administrator, with the appropriate FME installer filename:

msiexec /i fme-desktop-b15573-win-x86.msi /l*v log.txt

The same applies for FME Server:

 

 

msiexec /i fme-server-b19999-win-128.msi /l*v log.txt

Would be great if this was an option in the installer wizzard, or the default setting.

I don't see many of my customers using a command line like that.

I'm pleased to announce that an installation log file is automatically created when installing FME 2021.0 and newer when using the Setup.exe after extracting the files.
